Who We Are
Blending East and West, Kevin Hume specializes in executive mentoring using meditation as a personal therapeutic and performance base. As Director of Sydney Meditation Centre, his unique teaching methods distil his considerable life experiences as a high-level communicator and participant-observer in the media, politics and corporate life. He has a particular interest in the science of meditation, as well as in the cultures and traditions from which such techniques are drawn.
He was introduced to meditation in 1992 by renowned meditation teacher and internationally best-selling author, Eric Harrison of the Perth Meditation Centre, with whom he now works in professional association. Along with numerous individual clients, he has provided programs for such high profile corporate clients as Saatchi & Saatchi, Du Pont Australia, Austar Entertainment, The CEO Institute and more.
His teaching skills and understandings were recently displayed in his six-part meditation series 'Meditation in Six Spiritual Traditions' and 'Science and the Buddha,' which were commissioned and played nationwide by ABC Radio and across Asia and the Pacific for Radio Australia.
An experienced conference facilitator, he was also host presenter in 2008 at the sell-out inaugural national meditation conference MEDITATE 08 at Melbourne Museum.
