The Leveys have coached a number of Olympic and World Class champions and designed & directed biocybernautic training for the US Army Green Berets’ acclaimed “Ultimate Warrior Training Program”, aka “Jedi Warrior.” This six-month full-time training program was described by West Point leaders as, “The most exquisite orchestration of human technology that we have ever seen.” Michael Murphy & George Leonard, founders of the Esalen Institute, praised this work, saying, “Jedi Warrior was the most extensive and advance leadership development program to be offered in modern times.”

The Institute of Noetic Sciences--for whom they have participated in numerous research colloquiums--honored them as leading contemporary “teachers of transformation” for their work in mind-fitness and extraordinary human performance.

Joel & Michelle are active in interfaith community work with a diversity of leaders from various faith traditions and social justice movements, and are founders of the International Center for Contemplative Inquiry.

The Dalai Lama has been an advisor and supporter on a number of the Leveys’ projects and has encouraged them in their work and teachings saying, “You are presently engaged in work that has great prospects for bringing the inner sciences and technologies of human development and transformation to a very wide section of people who may not under ordinary circumstances come into contact with these teachings.”

The Leveys have a base in Seattle as well as Hawaii where they steward The Kohala Sanctuary, a beautiful conference center and gathering place in the Aloha Spirit and organic permaculture farm in North Kohala on the northern tip of the Island of Hawai’i. They work with organizations and communities around the globe to inspire people to deepen the wisdom, wonder, compassion, resilience, and creativity they bring to life.
