On this edition of Need to Know we discuss a practice used everywhere from hospitals and classrooms to churches and board rooms. And it’s all about living in the moment. We learn why the practice of Buddhist mindfulness meditation is going “mainstream” and being embraced in pockets of the Greater Rochester community. Bodhin Kjolhede of the Rochester Zen Center and Judy Zettek of the Mindful Meditation Ministry at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church join the conversation.
Also on the show, a recap of an ongoing issue in the Rochester city school district – a discussion on what some call extreme student discipline measures.
And we talk with Rochester-native Zebulon Hounslea who has adorned some of the style icons of the PBS hit program Downton Abbey with his oh-so glamorous hats.
