Bob Peck is a writer, filmmaker and producer focusing on mystic spirituality. He holds a B.S. in Radio-Television-Film and a B.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, and is a certified mindfulness teacher. He is the founder of Teach Wisdom Traditions, which builds curricula and classroom materials on the world's wisdom traditions for schools, educators and facilitators. A frequent guest on spirituality and religion podcasts, he has taught this material in schools, in prisons, and at outdoor patio tables in bars in Austin, Texas.
He spent nearly a decade in tech, at Meta and then TikTok, while writing and filming on the side. The householder path runs through the whole thing: Lahiri Mahasaya was a railroad clerk, and this isn't just for the sadhus anymore. It's for the dads and the clerks at the company too.
Mind Heart Lens LLC is the company behind the book, the films and the curricula.
