As a pioneer in the global wellness movement, he offers guided meditations, retreats, a weekly podcast (Ten Laws w/East Forest), and lectures that lead students through a mind-body approach to non-religious and spiritually grounded living. He is a faculty member at the Esalen Institute and has collaborated with Google, the Johns Hopkins neuroaesthetics project, UCSF, Wavepaths, Consciousness Hacking, TED, Field Trip Health, is a co-founder of JourneySpace.com, and more.
“There’s a glue that ties everything I do together,” says the producer, teacher, and multi-instrumentalist. “My podcast, conversations, retreats, lyrics, events, and the music I make are all about inviting introspection. It’s about trusting the inherent wisdom of the individual who dives into their inner world and learns to make their own decisions. For me, this project has helped me keep my sanity. I want to share the experiences, tools, and sounds I’ve learned with others so they can get closer to their own essence.”
