Hello! I’m Adam Moskowitz. I help individuals, groups, organizations, schools, and companies grow and transform through mindfulness and embodiment-based practices. Words that illustrate my north star are beingness, presence, freedom, and love. I believe our personal and collective evolution depends on our capacity to see ourselves clearly and to heal the fractures within. I create spaces where people can discover the innate wisdom of the mind-body-heart—and let that discovery inspire their lives, relationships, and the world.

Background

My teaching journey began when I was twenty, as an intern at an elementary school in Pennsylvania. I had no idea what I was doing—but the sacred spark of shared insight and discovery that lit up the classroom felt like the most wonderful thing I’d ever experienced. It was a true calling.

Years later, while teaching at a high school in Northern California, the weight of long-buried anxiety and a profoundly imbalanced nervous system suddenly surfaced and overwhelmed me. It demanded my full attention. I had no choice but to confront a whole terrain of previously unconscious inner struggle.

My life took a sudden pivot toward healing and contemplative practice. Vacations turned into silent retreats in the Zen and Vipassana traditions; novels were replaced with strange spiritual texts. (I do miss those novels!) It was a seismic shift—excruciating yet beautiful. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

As a teacher, became more attuned to the imbalance in my students’ lives. I saw how school often ignored the nervous system, the inner life, the basic human need for okay-ness. Amid pressure and performance, there wasn’t much room to breathe, to be, and to discover an innate safety and ease within. I felt as though what was so foundational for all else was totally missing.

I began to center my work around helping students reconnect to presence—and to what one teacher called the human right of awareness—and support kids to discover a safe, spacious quality of body-heart-mind. I trained with Mindful Schools and developed a school-wide mindfulness program that touched the lives of over a thousand Bay Area students and educators.

Eventually, I left the classroom and traveled to southeast Asia to more fully immerse in the study of dharma and mindfulness-based practices. When I returned to the United States, I trained with the Center for Mindfulness at UMass Medical Center to become an MBSR instructor, joined the nonprofit Stress Care as a consulting teacher, and founded One Mindful to offer retreats, workshops, and teachings for individuals, families, and organizations.

My Work Today

Today, I offer teachings to the public, organizations, schools, and individuals. I design customized programs that explore the transformative benefits of mindfulness and embodiment-based practices—through experiential workshops, immersive retreats, group courses, and private sessions.

In addition to my consulting and retreat work, I serve as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where I teach mindfulness to graduate students pursuing their master’s in education. I’m also currently engaged in a multi-year Hakomi training in mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy, which continues to deepen the way I hold space for others with sensitivity, presence, and care.

My approach is clear, gentle, and grounded in compassion. I draw from a wide range of teachings and practices that support self-awareness, loving presence, and personal agency. The spaces I offer are safe, inclusive, and community-oriented—inviting powerful shared transformation.

I'm profoundly grateful to my teachers—Megan Cowan, Chris McKenna, Steven Smith, Michele McDonald, Bob Stahl, Matthew Brensilver, David Weinberg, George Bertelstein, Lilo Reese, and Ryan Brandenburg.

I’ve been shaped by the Burmese lineage of Vipassana meditation, the poetry and activism of Thich Nhat Hanh, and the wisdom of Advaita Vedanta.
