Brent Purple Oliver
meditation & mindfulness coach
"...I desire to be the purple—that small and shining part which makes the rest seem fair and beautiful."
- Epictetus
My coaching approach embraces the whole glorious mess of our human condition. Every experience - whether beautiful, horrific, or mundane - can be welcomed with presence. Rather than detachment and serenity, this life-affirming model emphasizes appreciation, passionate enjoyment, and relationship. A willingness to laugh at yourself and the sheer absurdity of all this helps too.
People work with me because they dig my colorful style and they see results. I custom-tailor methods according to each client's specific situation and needs. This personalized training adapts as you and your goals evolve, staying focused on practical, real-world results.
If you’re looking for the soft-spoken, spookily calm, guru-type, I’m not your guy. But if you vibe with playfulness, curious skepticism, and attitude, this is the place. Best way to find out is to schedule a free consultation. This is a free-ranging chat on Zoom where we can get to know each other a little and see if we’re a good fit for coaching.
"In a world of many mindfulness teachers, Purple stands out as a guide with an understanding of life-affirming techniques, their history and context, and how to apply them to the challenges of real-life circumstances. I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. He can help you grow through mindfulness in ways you can hardly imagine."
