Meet Dr. Home

Dr. Home brings over 35 years of coaching, facilitation, and research in adult learning and leadership. His remarkable path — surviving 19 days adrift at sea, teaching at top universities, and working with the World Bank — gave him a rare wisdom for integrating life's hardest challenges.

MindKindness honors his root teachers, weaving the relentless determination of Goenka's Vipassana together with the gentle healing of Thich Nhat Hanh's mindfulness. From theater director to healer during the HIV/AIDS epidemic to scholar-researcher of mindful leadership, each transition equipped him to guide your own.

Now based in Bali, Dr. Home has guided thousands toward what he calls uncompromising compassion — genuine kindness with clear boundaries.
