About Me
I’m a Ph.D.-trained practical philosopher and meditation teacher. Over the past 15 years, I’ve explored—with executives, tech founders, and finance professionals—the things that matter most (philosophy) as well as the deep peace that’s at the heart of our experience (meditation). I’ve meditated for thousands of hours, originally devoting myself to Zen (under the tutelage of a Zen teacher based in Kyoto, Japan) and still sit 4 hours daily. In recent years, I’ve been instructing others in the Awareness Teaching of Advaita Vedanta, an approach which insists that abiding peace is to be found through clear self-knowledge.

More Detail
Guided Meditation: I’ll begin with an experiential exploration of this theme. No experience in meditation is required, only an open mind and a willingness to follow the line of inquiry.
Lecture: The guided meditation will be followed by a talk (see “Lecture Overview” below). I’ll end the talk with a clear situational practice that you can implement. In other words, I’m most keen to answer the question—“What, for those of us living in the West today, is the practice of the yoga of work?”
Discussion: This is a time for you to present puzzles (“When I’m at work, X is the case.”), to offer objections to the arguments advanced, or to ask questions you’d very much like to have answered.
