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.

Research in progress

Why do some people keep meditating—while others stop?

Kevin is helping lead an ongoing meditation-habit-formation study examining the experiences, techniques and conditions that make a lasting practice more likely.

The work connects Meditation University’s real-world learning community with the Mindful Education Lab at NYU and a growing effort to make meditation not only inspiring, but sustainable.
