Zeff's Bio
Michael Zeff was raised by his single mother in low–middle class suburbs in the United States. After earning a full-ride scholarship to a private university he boarded a one-way flight to New Zealand, unknowingly beginning more than a decade-long journey of international travel, natural studies, and communion with the depths of reality.
In that time he has led countless yoga classes and retreats, earned dual Reiki Master certifications with hundreds of hours of sessions, Family Constellations Facilitation, Tibetan Sound Bowl Practitioner, and Permaculture/Agroforest Design Certifications with years of experience in food forest systems, and beyond. He has studied and lived alongside indigenous healers, naturalists, physicists, children, plant medicines and other teachers for years at a time throughout the Americas and Polynesia, with a joyful interest in the exploration and practical integration of well-Being.
He has written and published two books: Cosmic Journeys of the Alichina Wasi, and Being, Not Me-ing. His photography and paintings have been exhibited in museums and fine art galleries, he’s written music albums, toured and performed with world-class musicians, and climbed many mountains along the way.
Much of this time has been spent guiding and supporting children through their early development, while cultivating a deep connection with what one teacher calls the “Pristine State” of Self: the natural self-expression born into and living in every human prior to conditioning.
Perhaps more than anything, this journey has brought Zeff face-to-face with the depths of his own silent self-exploration, healing, consciousness, and fundamental interrelation with Life, as Life. He sees that Life as a whole lives through every body—whether tree, tardigrade, galaxy or human—and has witnessed Life lived in the depths of this awareness.
“How could I ignore the immense impact of these experiences?” he asks. “As adult humans come to live in the awareness of their unique Pristine State—a living reality naturally embodied by toddlers worldwide—we witness humanity no longer composed of myriad isolated humans, but humanity lived by Life, through an immense variety of unique, interrelated humans.”
