Tomek Wyczesany

Tomek Wyczesany is a meditation teacher and mentor living on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. He spent more than ten years in research and teaching posts at universities in Europe and Australia and holds a master's degree and a doctorate, which he began in London and completed in Sydney. Alongside that academic path he has kept a meditation practice for over two decades, and his teaching draws on contemplative traditions as well as modern psychology.

His guided meditations on Insight Timer, where close to 100,000 people follow him, are plain-spoken and practical: breath-led morning practices, body scans, evening relaxations and reflections inspired by writers such as Thomas Merton. Longer talks from his Conscious Living Collective series, on presence, the inner critic, purpose and altered states of consciousness, are free on his YouTube channel, and his eight-day Insight Timer course maps out six areas of conscious living, from movement, food and rest to awareness, relationships and personal growth. He also works one to one online, mentoring people (often scientists and other analytical thinkers) on self-awareness, emotional skills, mindfulness and goal setting, and sells his guided meditations as downloads from his website.
