 On his long-term devotion to the path of personal growth, holistic healing and spiritual evolution, with deep gratitude, he has learned and practiced many East/West traditions and styles of sitting meditations from teachers like Walter Chappell (Ramana Maharshi) & Willem Nyland of the G.I. Gurdjieff Work Groups, June d’Estelle, Ram Dass, Vipassana with Jack Kornfield, Zen, SRF(P.Yogananda), Baba Hari Dass, Tibetan Lama Dudjom Dorjee, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Mantak Chia's Healing Tao (through Michael Foss), HeartMath, TM(Dr. Maha Patra) and many other stillness and moving meditations in the 1970's through the 2000"s fostering silence.  

He then became deeply involved in the profound knowledge and wisdom teachings of Dr. Michael Mamas from 2000 onward, who authored " The Golden Frog", “Consciousness Unfolding”, “Angels, Einstein and You”, “Unconditioned Spirit” and “How to Be Your Own Best Psychotherapist” and founded Mount Soma Vedic University/Ashram.

Moving to Asheville, NC from northern California in 2003 Theo was also involved with the beginnings of Mount Soma in Clyde, NC and lived in the Ashram program. 

The Surya Meditation(SuryaRam Meditation) is an effortless silent meditation which brings profound rest to the psycho-physiology.  By resting effortlessly into the Self, we allow stresses and strains stored deep in our psyco-physiology to purify out. This purification process enables our natural healing mechanisms to function more fully. The Surya Meditation, when done in private, can be a great facilitator for the evolution of the practitioner. When performed in groups, the power of the Surya Meditation multiplies exponentially and one experiences an expanded sphere of positive influence.

I had a great experience taking Theo's meditation class in March of 2025. He brings a loving presence and is very knowledgeable on meditation. He teaches with a gentle grace and really "listens" to his students with heartfelt concern. It was one of the best classes I’ve

ever taken. Theo, thank you for being who you are and what you bring. We all need this!
