In 2011, Michael Patrick Peters created and founded Dance Meditation Technique, an electric unchoreographed dance and meditation experience that has seen over 10,000 participants experience its benefits. Michael also certifies teachers in his unique modality. The ancient principles of “Wise Living” taught through Dance Meditation Technique have come from the very practices that helped transform his life, birth a profound creativity, and find meaning again after, through and within immense struggles.
