After deeply immersing himself in mindfulness practice as a Buddhist monk in Thailand, Sean Fargo noticed a shift in the way he related to himself and others that he wanted to bring to the communities around him. Since then, he has spent the last 10 years focused on building out mindfulness practices across organizations, into the community, and across the globe.

Sean has worked alongside mindfulness pioneers such as Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Joseph Goldstein, and Sharon Salzberg, and he’s has taught mindfulness and meditation for corporations including Tesla, Kaiser Permanente, Facebook, Ernst & Young, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In 2014, he founded Mindfulness Exercises, a platform where over 20 million people have benefited from free and premium resources, including downloadable meditations, guided meditation scripts, mindfulness worksheets, courses, content, and live online retreats.

Currently, Sean serves as a Lead Teacher for the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification, a unique, self-paced program that balances pre-recorded sessions with live mentorship and community engagement. Additionally, he acts as an Instructor for Google’s in-house mindfulness program.
