Hello! My name is Adam Moskowitz. Thank you for finding your way here. I help individuals, groups, organizations, schools, and companies grow and transform through mindfulness and embodiment-based practices and by fostering community. Words that illustrate my north star are beingness, presence, freedom, and love.

I wholeheartedly believe that the progress and evolution of our world relies on our capacity to see ourselves more clearly and heal the difficulties and fragments that within. I create spaces for humans to learn to discover the innate wisdom of the mind-body-heart and for that discovery to inspire their lives, relationships, and the world.

I invite you to learn about a series of offerings for you, your family, friends, and colleagues.

My teaching journey began as an intern at an elementary school in Pennsylvania. I was twenty years old, uncertain, and insecure. Yet something strange and profound developed in me as I navigated that temporary role. An energy arose in me that felt electric—an enthusiasm that carried a message: This is right. This message came alive as a result of the sacred experience of witnessing the individual and collective spark of insight and discovery that happens in a classroom. 

Years later, I was teaching at a high school in Northern California when I realized, out of the blue, that my whole life had dramatically shifted towards one of healing and contemplative practice. Vacations became silent retreats in the Zen and Vipassana traditions; novels were replaced with all kinds of strange, spiritual books. (I miss those novels!) There was a seismic shift in awareness, which felt excruciating and wonderful all at once. 

With greater sensitivity, I perceived an imbalance in the lives of the students I served. I felt as though the environment of school, in general, fundamentally ignored the state of their nervous systems, their sense of okay-ness. With such an emphasis on external academic content, was there room to breathe? Was there room for them to learn to witness and hold space for their internal experience and maybe even discover an innate sense of safety and ease? 

I began to concern myself entirely with kids feeling a basic sense of okay-ness in the here and now and supporting students to discover the human right of awareness—this safe and spacious essence of the heart-mind that cannot be broken and cannot be discovered through any book or lesson. I trained to become a Mindful Schools teacher and created a school-wide mindfulness program, serving over one thousand Bay Area students and their teachers. 

After a decade of being a full-time classroom teacher, I left the school system to train extensively with the Center for Mindfulness, based at the UMass Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, to become an MBSR Instructor. I became a consulting teacher with Stress Care, a long-standing non-profit organization serving medical communities in the Bay Area since 1996. And I created One Mindful, a series of offerings for you, your family, friends, and colleagues.

I currently offer services to the public, organizations, schools, companies, and individuals. My teaching emphasizes a clear, gentle approach supporting individuals to discover the depth of wisdom and presence within. 

I am deeply grateful for my teachers Megan Cowan, Chris McKenna, Steven Smith, Michele McDonald, Bob Stahl, Matthew Brensilver, David Weinberg, George Bertelstein, Lilo Reese, and Ryan Brandenburg. I have been powerfully influenced by the Burmese tradition of Vipassana meditation, the beautiful transmission, poetry, and activism of Thich Nhat Hanh, and teachings of Advaita Vedanta.
