The realization at Wat Suan Mokkh
A life changed
in silence.
At twenty-five, Kevin walked away from the Wall Street real-estate company he had built and traveled to Thailand searching for something deeper.
During an extended period of silent meditation at Wat Suan Mokkh, in the jungles of Surat Thani, the world began to feel filled with love, clarity and an almost unimaginable aliveness. Humans, monkeys, lizards, insects—even rows of marching ants—appeared as expressions of one living whole.
“If I keep this love and bliss inside myself, it is completely selfish.”
That realization became a mission: bring the practical gifts of meditation to as many people as possible, and help build a happier, more loving and more peaceful world.

Neutral mindfulness or warm mindfulness?
Working with researchers at NYU, Kevin is studying how the tone of mindfulness practice may shape its effects.
Does neutral, nonjudgmental awareness better cultivate peace and emotional stability? Does a warmer, more compassionate form of mindfulness more strongly cultivate happiness and connection? The study is designed to test those possibilities rather than assume the answer.
