Health educator, Founder, Holistic Health Learning Center
Listen to Ken Burrows
Ken Burrows, born in 1951 in the United States, is more than just a health educator—he’s a lifelong advocate for mindfulness, compassion, and systems thinking. For over four decades, Ken has helped thousands of students and professionals discover the power of holistic wellness—not just as a concept, but as a way of life.
Since joining the faculty at San Francisco State University in the 1980s, Ken has been a guiding force behind one of the nation’s most respected integrative health programs. But his impact goes far beyond the classroom. He is the founding director of the Holistic Health Learning Center—a hub of experiential learning, community healing, and inner transformation.
Ken’s journey hasn’t followed a typical academic path. What began as a personal exploration into wellness and human potential blossomed into a mission to foster conscious leadership, ethical systems, and heart-centered dialogue. Whether through peace education, social justice advocacy, or his unique approach to mindful leadership, Ken’s life work is defined by one thing: helping others awaken to their highest potential.
Over the years, Ken has facilitated hundreds of workshops and courses on mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and transformative leadership. His work integrates the best of ancient wisdom and modern science, and it continues to influence not only students, but changemakers, educators, and visionaries across the world.
But perhaps the most powerful aspect of Ken’s story is the quiet way he embodies what he teaches. Colleagues speak of his calm presence. Students recall transformative moments in his classes. And guests at his workshops often leave with more than just insight—they leave with purpose.
In a world racing toward faster answers and louder voices, Ken Burrows reminds us to slow down, listen deeply, and lead with heart. His path proves that luck isn’t always loud—it sometimes shows up in stillness, in service, and in the ripples we create when we care deeply and act mindfully.
