About this Lister

Hello & Welcome! My name is Sean Phillips, I am the founder and coach here at Rounding Edges. Teaching, coaching, and
discussing meditation is my passion and I look forward to our sessions together. First, let me tell you a little bit about myself and how I ended up here:

I was first introduced to meditation in 2012, but it wasn’t until college that it became a meaningful part of my life. Fascinated by the mind, I found meditation to be a welcome break during my busy days as I worked toward my goal of becoming a physician. While pursuing a neurobiology degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I experienced intense bouts of anxiety, depression, and stress. Remembering the peace I had once felt through meditation, I began practicing guided meditations every night to help me fall asleep. Over time, it worked, and the sense of relief felt like a miraculous discovery—almost like a superpower.

I graduated with my neurobiology degree and went straight into medical school. COVID hit, school went virtual, and I began independently studying the mind, philosophy, religion, spirituality, consciousness, and meditation with the vigor and intensity of a medical student used to long days in the library. I was again putting into practice all that I learned and cultivating a deep sense of inner peace, happiness, and mental wellness that I couldn't fully explain nor previously thought possible for myself. Having personally experienced and witnessed the prevalent states of poor mental health among my classmates and colleagues, I understood the significance of finding ways to heal. I was determined to further understand my experience and dropped out of medical school to continue this new journey I found myself on.

I spent the next four years traveling, exploring, meeting with different meditation and spiritual teachers, and continuing my studies and practice. I published a book of poetry inspired by my experiences and created many blogs, videos, and pieces of art sharing what I was learning. In time, my searching was laid more and more to rest as I found stability in the underlying principles that ran like a thread through all the different forms. The understandings and practices that were now more ingrained in my life brought peace and comfort – even in the face of relatively much greater challenges. In time, the meditative state of alert, peaceful presence began to integrate with everyday life; although life's challenges never cease and therefore neither does the practice.

It has been a long and winding journey that is ever-evolving. I am happy to now share what I currently understand with others and walk the path beside you.

Background and Expertise

I started Rounding Edges in 2019 as a blog to share my experiences and what I was learning. It grew and expanded, and in 2022, I started offering classes and guided group meditation sessions to the public. In 2023, I began Mindful Moment – our recurring virtual group meditation series – and in 2024, Rounding Edges completed its first private contracts with prominent organizations such as The Badger State Girl Choir, Arts Engage International, and the UW-Madison Division of Continuing Studies to offer tailored meditation courses to staff and members. In addition for corporate offerings, I have expanded Rounding Edges' services into personal coaching.

Additionally, I hold a degree in Neurobiology from UW-Madison, and have participated in courses from renowned teachers such as Jon Kabat-Zinn and Rupert Spira.
