Reinhard Seidel, MS.

Reinhard Seidel was born and raised in Austria. After completing his Master of Science degree in Silicon Valley, California he immersed himself in the fast-growing technology sector and built a successful career in mobile software applications, combining his technical knowledge with a passion for innovation. Inspired by his new surroundings in California, he embarked on a three-decade journey into mindfulness and human potential, exploring meditation, Krya Yoga, and spiritual teachings. He deepened his understanding through travels around the world, including nature meditation retreats in the Himalayas and completed his certification training as a Forest Therapy guide (Forest Bathing). Intrigued by the emerging science of awe and its immense benefits, he found himself reflecting on his own life shaped by the persistent pursuit of awe and wonder. Motivated to share his insights, he developed a journal-based method assisting individuals cultivate awe wonder in their daily lives. The practice-based method includes awe arising from nature experiences, personal relationships and visualizations.

His aspiration is to help individuals - through the experience of awe - reduce stress and anxiety, enhance social connections, and find more meaning and purpose in their lives. Seidel resides with his dear wife in the San Francisco Bay area and occasionally conducts guided awe walks in nature.
