What is applied meditation science?

Applied meditation science is a modern, humanistic, and interdisciplinary approach to the study and practice of meditation.

Applied from History to Todays Issues

Find out what meditation can do for the human condition of today. My work is grounded in the legacy of Buddhist thought but with translation from tradition into modern frameworks.

Applied in People and Communities

Practice the meditations I study and gain the first-person experience I use to guide my teaching. Classes, retreats, and coaching to meet your goals.
