Soryu Forall

A Zen monk and a pioneering meditation teacher, Soryu helps people train their minds to be clearer, calmer, and more focused through ancient wisdom and compassionate action. As founder of the Monastic Academy, he combines traditional meditation practice with ethics, entrepreneurship, activism and community living to support personal transformation while also tackling global challenges. Soryu speaks with clarity, urgency, and hope - inviting us to transform not just ourselves, but the world we shape.
