You can learn more about each of them and our Certified SEM Teachers below!
Kevin is an author, meditation teacher, and meditation coach. In 1984, he had a profound experience of still, silent, spacious, nondual Awareness on a backpacking trip through the wilderness that set him on a lifelong quest exploring higher states of consciousness. This quest led him to study T'ai Chi, Qigong, mindfulness, meditation, Centering Prayer, Kriya Yoga, Holy Fire Reiki, and other mind-body training techniques.
Kevin graduated from Villanova University in 1986 with a Master’s degree in Philosophy, and is Certified as a Personal Trainer, Life Coach, Qigong Meditation Master Instructor, and Holy Fire Karuna Reiki Master Teacher. He has been writing about and teaching these techniques for over 35 years. His latest books are Clear Quiet Mind and Raising Our Vibration: A Guide to Subtle Energy Meditation (which he co-wrote with Stephen) are available on Amazon. Kevin now lives in California with his wife and two sons.
Stephen is an author and teacher of Light Body Awakening, including Mindfulness and Meditation. At a very early age, Stephen had a dream of being a monk and experiencing the cosmic sound and light, an experience which fostered his awakening into self-awareness and a curiosity and deep love for all spiritual paths. This curiosity led him to study T'ai Chi, Qigong, meditation, Kriya Yoga, Reiki, and other mind-body training techniques.
Stephen graduated from Auckland and Otago University with degrees in Education and Business and was Certified as a Counsellor with the Counsellors and Psychotherapists Association of New South Wales in Australia.
