About Devan Miller
Devan Miller is an author, a life and relationship coach, and a Buddhist Dharma teacher based in Washington's North Olympic Peninsula, where the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest continues to inspire his work on meaningful living.
A Path Shaped by Creativity, Wisdom, and Real Life
Raised in a family of artists and fine craftsmen in a small town and the foothills of Mt. Baldy, California, Devan grew up immersed in creativity and the practice of earning an honest living through physical, creative, and entrepreneurial work. His first jobs were raking leaves, picking and selling avocados in his neighborhood, and later working jobs in restaurants, retail, and the arts.
Over the years, he has run successful businesses, produced international music and concert tours, and brought educational and music programs to schools, universities, and festivals.
He has spent decades studying Tibetan Buddhism, meditation, and the art of living with clarity and purpose. His path has been shaped by deep engagement with Buddhist practice and teaching Dharma, extensive travel across diverse cultures, and the real-world experience of raising a family and learning to help others through his own life's challenges.
