Program Description:
“The real voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes,
but in having new eyes.”
— Marcel Proust
Each of us comes bundled with extraordinary capacities for wisdom, well-being, mental focus, resilience, and creativity that are rarely discovered or realized. With our busy lives in challenging times, we are all stretched to manage our mind, emotions, energy, and attention in healthy, meaningful, and productive ways. The inner technologies of mindfulness and meditation help us to unbundle, activate, embody, and inspire those potentials through our lives and work. This special workshop with two pioneers in mind fitness, contemplative science, and extraordinary human performance offers a wealth of profoundly practical skills and insights regarding:
– The varieties of mind fitness practices
– The profoundly practical application of these methods in our lives and work
– Neuroplasticity: How when we train our minds, we change our brains, and transform our world
– Compelling insights from evidence-based research
– Time to explore your questions

Building on the success of Google’s acclaimed Search Inside Yourself Program, the Leveys were requested to develop Google’s Global Mindfulness and Meditation Laboratory, which inspired Googlers at 24 sites around the globe. Founders of SportsMind, Inc., and Mind Fitness Coaches for Olympic Gold and World Class athletic champions, they directed clinical programs related to stress management, pain management, and employee health for Group Health HMO and Children’s Hospital.
They designed and directed advanced biocybernautic training for the Special Forces’ acclaimed “Ultimate Warrior Training Program” (aka “Jedi Warrior”) which was described by West Point leaders as, “The most exquisite orchestration of human technology that we have ever seen.” Michael Murphy and George Leonard leaders in the human potential movement, observed that, “Jedi Warrior was the most extensive and advanced leadership development and transformation program to be offered in modern times.”
The Leveys have done intensive study and practice with many of the world’s most respected contemplative teachers and researchers, including a one year intensive silent meditation retreat. Their published works include: Luminous Mind: Meditation and Mind Fitness, Wisdom at Work; Living in Balance; The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration, and Meditation: Ancient Skills for Modern Minds; Intuition at Work; Systems Thinking in Action; The Focused Mindstate.
The Dalai Lama, an advisor on a number of the Leveys’ projects, praised the Leveys’ work saying,: “You are presently engaged in work that has great prospects for bringing the inner sciences and technologies of human development and transformation to a very wide section of people who may not under ordinary circumstances come into contact with these teachings.”
