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, DuPont 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.
'Satisfaction or your money back. It's that simple!'
Kevin Hume
'Meditation has been my anchor through the intense demands of high-profile public performance, the often immense stresses of politics and corporate life, the storms and turbulence of periods of reinvention, of pain and serious illness, of personal growth and change. What science is proving, what meditators have long known, and what my own experience has shown me, is that meditation can transform you from the inside out and the way you look at yourself, others around you, the world itself and your place within it. It can bring calm through the worst times and a sense of balance in the best. And it provides a fascinating means of accessing unfamiliar spiritual traditions, of navigating cultural diversity, and of appreciating the inspiring search for peace of mind transcending human differences and shared by all humanity. In my daily life it is my continuing compass, companion and guide. The choice of what you make of it is entirely yours.' Kevin Hume
'The A to Z of meditation, with a wise, knowledgeable, and insightful instructor.' David McCulloch, Government Relations Manager, Optus, Sydney.
'The results have been extraordinary and we now have staff practicing their favorite meditation methods daily and who are feeling the benefit, not only at our workplace but also in their life as a whole. His very unique style, ability and skills, which to a large extent reflect his personal experience and history, gave us all something very real to take away with us. I would certainly recommend working with him as it will be richly rewarding for all concerned.' John Owen, General Manager, Willoughby City Council.
'Kevin is a natural for meditation teaching - obviously vastly experienced - knowledgeable on many streams of thinking - humorous - and the ability to blend the right mix of talk and practice.' Peter Bliss, General Manager, SR Events Company, Sydney and Qi Gong teacher.
