Deeper Well Being was founded on the principle that Wisdom is something we can practice and get better at as we go along. It is never too late to become wiser, day by day, no matter who, when, where, how, or why we may begin. As the philosopher Aristotle taught, Wisdom is not something that we are, it is something that we do, and we can become wise through our conscious, intentional choices and actions, We become wise by choosing those thing that we expect to help us cultivate peace, wellbeing, and joy for ourselves and for others. Our practice of Wisdom will help to make us all feel better. 

My name is Roger Mohr, and I am a philosopher, a lover of Wisdom.  Since my mid-teens, I have been engaged in the study and teaching of Western, Eastern, and African philosophies and religions, serving as an interfaith minister and college philosophy instructor. My formal academic training in philosophy and religion comes from the University of Chicago Divinity School and Meadville Lombard Theological Seminary, with over fifteen years in pastoral and chaplaincy ministries. I have been practicing meditation since I was 16, and I have my 200 hour yoga teacher training from Asheville NC Yoga Center, as well as training in Shotokan karate. I am also a Marine Corps fitness instructor and a certified personal trainer, with over forty years in the gym. I teach a secular perspective on contemplative practices, based on the foundation of the body, informed by contemporary brain science and philosophy. 

I have spent my life seeking a path to a life well lived, and I have found that the most rewarding paths in the search for Wisdom have a few things in common. It is my mission to teach these shared principles so that I can help people to create their own practice and path in realizing peace, wellbeing, and joy in their lives. I practice what I preach, and walk what I talk. And I am a joyful person, despite having endured and caused my share of suffering. I live a semi-monastic life of simplicity and solitude, but I am neither a saint nor a sage, nor am I “enlightened”: I don’t believe in final enlightenment, salvation, or whatever. I’m still a Fool on the Journey, just like everyone else. Yet I am a happy fool, which counts for something.
