This site serves as a home base for the Meditation Group in Traverse City at Higher Self on Wednesdays, and as a home for Robert’s musings on the nature of the human experience.


The Traverse City Meditation group meets every Wednesday evening, 7:00 – 8:00PM, at Higher Self on Front Street in Traverse City.

The Grayling Meditation group ran from 2019 into 2023, then folded into the Traverse City group. I run a carpool from Grayling to TC every Wednesday for Grayling people who’d like to attend. email me for details.

Our groups are generally satsang style gatherings for meditators of all levels, from beginners to experienced meditators. Evenings will normally involve a group discussion, a structured meditation, and a sharing of experiences.

A group environment benefits meditators at all levels. Group energy, shared intention and purpose all serve to strengthen and deepen our experiences.

The group is grounded in Robert’s First Principles and the ancient traditions of classical yoga, but is not tied to any specific religion or belief system. No belief is required or expected or encouraged, only open-mindedness and willingness and desire.

Through an improved understanding and appreciation of Universal Truth we come to a place where meditation happens naturally.
