Sean Fargo is a mindfulness teacher and founder of Mindfulness Exercise, a platform to make mindfulness accessible to everyone. Sean’s journey into mindfulness began after a career in international business where he served as Director of Product Development and Sourcing in Beijing. Despite the growth of his business, Sean felt called to explore the deeper aspects of life, leading him to become ordained as a monk in the Thai Theravada tradition. He spent two years immersed in monastic life, learning the techniques of mindfulness and meditation from some of the most respected teachers in the field.
Upon returning to the Western world, Sean sought to bridge the gap between traditional mindfulness practices and modern life. He worked closely with renowned meditation teacher Jack Kornfield at Spirit Rock Meditation Center and became a trainer for the Google-born mindfulness program. Sean’s work ranges from advising technology startups like Elevate Labs and WellBrain (supporting people with chronic pain, trauma, and addiction) to teaching mindfulness to executives at companies like PG&E, Reddit, and DocuSign.
In 2015, Sean founded Mindfulness Exercises to share the transformative power of mindfulness with more people. His platform offers a wealth of free and premium resources, including guided meditations, worksheets, and a comprehensive Mindfulness Teacher Certification. Sean has impacted over 20 million people around the world with a mission to help others develop mindfulness with integrity and compassion. Through his teachings, Sean continues to inspire others to live more presently and resiliently, especially during difficult times.
Sean’s deep commitment to mindfulness is both professional and personal, as he seeks to embody the principles of mindfulness in every aspect of his life and work.
