The Leveys are co-founders of: WisdomatWork.com; InnerWork Technologies, Inc.; SportsMind, Inc.; The International Center for Corporate Culture & Organizational Health; and the International Center for Contemplative Inquiry.  Their work in the world has lead them to work with leaders and teams in over 200 leading organizations around the globe including: NASA, World Bank, Intel, Intuit, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft, Washington Mutual Bank, Group Health, Swedish Medical Center, Weyerhaueser, Menninger Foundation, Boeing, The Seattle Center, and with many professional & service organizations.  They have directed clinical programs for Group Health and Children's Medical Center in Seattle, lectured at dozens of Universities and medical schools, served as faculty at Antioch & Bastyr Universities, and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Ahmedabad India, and as core faculty for International Center for Organization Design and the World Business Academy.

Michelle & Joel 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" which 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 described the program as, "Jedi Warrior was the most extensive and advance leadership development program to be offered in modern times."
Michelle & Joel have been fortunate to study intensively with many of the world's most revered contemplative teachers and have been encouraged by many of them to keep their wisdom traditions alive through teaching others. Their combined 60 years of intensive contemplative practice draws inspiration from Buddhist, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, Goddess, and shamanic indigenous traditions.  Among their many teachers are: The Dalai Lama; Krishnamurti; Lama Thubten Yeshe; Brother David Steindl-Rast;  Reb Schlomo Carlbach; Paul Reps; Reb Zalman Schacter Shalomi;  Thich Nhat Hahn; Ram Dass; Kalu Rinpoche;  Karmapa; Sogyal Rinpoche; Chagdud Rinpoche; Lama Tharchen; DipaMa; Nicki Scully; S.N. Goenka; David Chethlahe Paladin; Dhyani Ywahoo; Pir Vilayat Khan; Reshad Field; Jack Kornfield;  Rina Sircar; Sharon Salzberg;  Robert Thurman; Daniel Goleman; Jon Kabat-Zinn; Larry Dossey; Jean Houston

       His Holiness the Dalai Lama has blessed and encouraged Joel & Michelle's work and teachings, and once wrote in a letter to them saying: "You are presently engaged in work that has great prospects for bringing the Dharma (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."

      Joel and Michelle have been fortunate to devote a number of years of their lives to intensive silent contemplative retreat, including a one-year silent meditation retreat. They have also been intensively involved with psychophysiological research on meditation, consciousness, and extraordinary human performance and were identified by the Institute of Noetic Sciences--for whom they have participated in numerous research colloquiums--as leading contemporary "teachers of transformation."  They weave a myriad of archetypal potentialities into their lives and work and help others learn to understand and dance with these in their own lives.
