I’m Evan Shapiro, a storyteller, designer, and meditation teacher who believes mindfulness can be both transformative and deeply human.

After nearly two decades of personal practice and formal teacher training at Three Jewels in New York, I’ve learned that meditation is not about escaping life but about being fully present within it. It helps us meet each moment with awareness, compassion, and creativity.

My professional life has always centred on communication and design. I’ve built brands, produced podcasts, designed experiences, and helped organisations bring ideas to life with clarity and purpose. Mindful Kookaburra is where these skills come together, blending design thinking, emotional intelligence, and contemplative practice.

Through courses, talks, and workplace programs, I help people reconnect with focus and resilience. Whether working with individuals or teams, my goal is to make mindfulness accessible, practical, and genuinely uplifting for both personal growth and organisational wellbeing.
