ONLINE WORKSHOP | SHADOW WORK FOR MINDFULNESS MEDITATORS - NOV. 24th, 2024

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING - MARCH 2024

2-YEAR MEDITATION APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM

About Me

I am a dual-lineage holder in both the Burmese "Mahasi" tradition of mindfulness meditation, as well as the "Iwama" tradition of Aikido.

For over 25 years I've been teaching meditation and the embodiment of spiritual awakening to thousands of people around the world.

I help people get established in mindfulness meditation, developing spiritual insight, integrating the disowned aspects of the personality, and the discovery of one's spiritual potential.

If you are passionate about developing your potential by walking a higher path of practice, you are in the right place. Welcome!

“Miles Kessler is a rare kind of teacher. He has cultivated deep meditative discipline, he is a fully embodied Aikido master, and most importantly, his heart is wide open. You can't help but grow in his company.”

–Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi

Author of "Everything Is Workable - A Zen Guide To Conflict Resolution"

“A bow of acknowledgement to Miles for creating The Integral Dojo online. If Aikido is going to have a part to play in this rapidly changing world, then we need such "virtual dojos" to bring us together to share, collaborate and practice musubi. With this work Miles is helping us move towards leaving the world a better place.”

–Richard Strozzi-Heckler, 7th Dan
Author of "The Leadership Dojo"

“O Sensei said 'Yesterday’s technique won’t be good enough today; and today’s technique won’t be good enough tomorrow.' Miles exemplifies the spirit of exploration, continually challenging the knowledge he has acquired.”

–Richard Moon Sensei, 6th Dan
Founder of “The Art Of Extraordinary Listening”

“Miles Kessler is a great teacher. But as importantly, he is a wonderful human being with a joy for life, and for all people whose paths cross with his. If you ever have the opportunity to learn from this true master, please do not even consider passing it up. Your life itself will be better for getting to know this exemplary Human Being."
–
Hon. Eric V. Moyé, 6th Dan
Texas District Judge, Aikido Sensei

“Miles is one of the wisest and most human facilitators I know. I love him dearly and respect his work."
–Mark Walsh
Founder and Director of "Integration Training".

“Miles’ teaching resonates with clarity and truth. You get a sense that his mind, heart and body are all in alignment as he speaks. His sincerity and humility makes what he offers even more accessible and valuable.”
–Linda Holiday Sensei, 6th Dan
Author of "Journey to the Heart of Aikido: The Teachings of Motomichi Anno Sensei "

"Miles' spiritual insight, understanding of the Integral perspective, and embodiment of the principles of Aikido make him an incredible facilitator and teacher. His unique capacity to share directly with others is an inspiring vision of human transformation.”
–Patrick Cassidy Sensei, 6th Dan
Meditation Teacher, Conscious Conflict Resolution Facilitator

"I share a background with Miles of long-term mindfulness and aikido practice. I feel great appreciation for the energy and effort he generates to create opportunities for practitioners of aikido and mindfulness to share how they bring their practice to the world. It is such a gift!”
–Wendy Palmer Sensei, 6th Dan
Aikido Sensei, Author of "The Practice Of Freedom: Aikido Principles As A Spiritual Guide"

"Kessler Sensei embodies an abundant passion, penetrating understanding, and unusual depth of ability. Koichi Tohei Sensei once remarked that we human beings are like “people who have been bequeathed golden treasure by our parents, yet leave that treasure locked away, and instead beg for pennies”. It is my opinion that this describes much of what we see under the umbrella term “Aikido”. A welcome and bright exception would be the clarity and vision so elegantly expressed through the work of Miles Kessler Sensei.”
–Lawrence Koichi Barrish, Aikido Sensei
Senior Shinto Priest of Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America, Dojo-Cho Kannagara Aikido
