Shawn J Moore

Residing at the intersection of leadership and mindfulness, Shawn creates sacred spaces for self-study and personal discovery.

He currently serves as Director of Student Leadership at Morehouse College, helping students grow their leadership competencies and talent through training, workshops, and developmental opportunities. His tenure in student affairs has focused on the identity development and leadership growth of students of various backgrounds.

While leadership resonates with him deeply, it is his personal and spiritual practices that allows him to continue to show up for himself and others. Mindfulness has been an integral part of Shawn’s life, exploring his own meditation practice rooted in Buddhism since high school, sparked by Herman Hesse's Siddartha. Over the years, he has integrated meditation and mindfulness as a tool for his own creative resilience, personal power, and healing, with the privilege to sharing these nurturing tools with his community. He is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), sound practitioner, meditation teacher, Yoga Nidra Teacher, reiki practitioner, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, with trainings in Mindful Communication and Brand Identity. In addition to holding community space through classes, he provides training in leadership and strengths-based development, and workshops in mindfulness and meditation.
