““We must look at ourselves over and over again in order to learn to love, to discover what has kept our hearts closed, and what it means to allow our hearts to open.” ― Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heart: A Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life”
Drawing on over 13 years of experience as a high school English teacher in the Bronx, Argos is an equity-driven educator and thought leader dedicated to fostering positive change through mindfulness and community engagement. His mindfulness journey began as a way to support both high school students and the pre-service and in-service teachers he continues to mentor at Hunter College, CUNY.
Currently, Argos serves as the Director of Community Partnerships and Professional Development at WholeSchool Mindfulness, where he works to integrate mindfulness, social-emotional learning (SEL), and wellbeing practices into school communities. He also lectures in the School of Education’s department of Curriculum and Teaching at Hunter College, and serves on the Greater Good Education Advisory Board, contributing to the advancement of holistic education practices nationwide.
With a deep commitment to empowering children, adolescents, and fellow educators, Argos recognizes love as a radical force for personal and community transformation. He shares mindfulness practices to promote healing, especially for communities most impacted by systemic oppression. Originally from Venezuela, Argos grew up in Queens and now resides north of New York City.
