Hi, I'm Mary Lee Miller. I am a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner who has experienced firsthand the transformative power of meditation and mindfulness. After overcoming alcoholism, I became passionate about helping others understand their own minds and overcome the challenges that are holding them back from achieving their dreams. My journey has taught me that with the right tools and support, anyone can overcome their struggles and find inner peace and fulfillment. I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and experience with others and supporting them on their own path towards personal growth and well-being.

Hello, my name is Joseph. I am a retired Navy veteran with 20 years of experience as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. While my time in the military presented many challenges, I am proud to say that one of my biggest achievements has been overcoming combat-related PTSD through mindfulness and meditation. These practices have not only helped me to heal, but also to find inner peace and a greater sense of purpose in life. I am passionate about sharing the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation with others and hope to inspire and support others on their own journey towards personal growth and well-being.

I spent my childhood in Las Vegas and Alaska, developing an extreme personality due to the contrasting environments. I enjoy experiencing new adventures, from partying in Vegas to exploring the outdoors in Alaska. That is what inevitably led me to joining the Navy as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician. My 8 years in the Navy was a giant thrill. From jumping out of planes at 20,000 feet and SCUBA diving 200 feet beneath the waves, to getting to experience vast amounts of culture from partner nations I had the privilege of training/working with. My experiences in the Navy taught me that there truly is nothing different about ANY of us. We are all just beings who had no choice in being here, but are still trying to make the best of it anyways. And there is real beauty in that! I strive to spread kindness and positivity based on my amazing experiences.

Hi I’m Dash. I was born in the Philippines and spent a good portion of my childhood in Queens, NYC, due to health reasons I moved back to my home country. Being heavily influenced by western culture, I literally stood out from the crowd for a long time, and I was always the subject for bullies. Slowly built my confidence up then entered advertising at a very young age (since I’m extremely tall for height here) as a ramp and print model for about 6 years.
In the past, I enjoyed social events and partying daily due to my profession. Despite this lifestyle, I eventually sought a more stable job and worked in the corporate world from 2005 to 2018 while still enjoying the party scene. My life took a turn, when I was going under depression, came out of it with renewed energy and finally had the balls to decide that I don’t want to waste my life doing what I don’t love.
