Michael Hess

Our staff attended Michael's stress management workshop and we learned several simple techniques to better respond to stress. Our staff was new to meditation and found his techniques very effective for the type of work we do within the community. Michael has a wealth of knowledge and helped us understand the big picture of the techniques we were using. He generously donated his time and energy in helping us learn how to better take care of ourselves and ultimately help us better serve our community! Thank you, Michael!

I have had the fortunate pleasure of working one-on-one with Michael Hess. I have had a steady mindfulness meditation practice over the course of a few years, and was feeling the need to go beyond what I already understood. I realized that I was in need of someone to guide me through that. Michael has helped me move closer towards that goal. He has the ability to teach, guide, encourage, and share his experiences in a way that is insightful and motivating. He is compassionate in his teaching style; however, he is very specific and direct at the same time, which I find necessary to keeping me on track. The ability to be able to relay that to a student is a testimony to his true embodiment of the dharma. I have worked with other teachers, and without a doubt, working with Michael has brought me closer to reaching my personal goals in a way that has far exceeded my expectations.
