A journey of Self-discovery, Devotion and Performance as One.
The Running Satsanga embraces the journey of Self-discovery through movement, running and racing. MEP founder, Ryan Willms, will share breathwork techniques, mindfulness exploration, and guide the group through their inner exploration using the medium of movement and running in a group dynamic. Knox Robinson will co-lead the program with a focus on run performance at the marathon distance and integrating a wholistic approach to training.
This program will be intimate and invite each team member to dive deep into their fears, their unconscious, and their physical limits, aiming to unlock personal genius, real connection and strength through vulnerability and honesty. It requires a significant commitment and yields a truly unique opportunity for growth on all levels. Each step invites each one of us deeper into our true Self, being witnessed in a shared experience of suffering, challenge, love, and compassion. A way to the Way.
For 2026 we are partnered with On, supplying the team with the best racing and training kits, shoes and customized MEP Running Satsanga team gear. District Vison will also be providing eyewear for the team and fuel from Maurten.
The program will begin late August 2026 and over 4-months we’ll prepare for the CIM marathon. We’re planning to race a 10km, half-marathon and have a team Training Camp, near Los Angeles.
The program is led by Ryan Willms and Knox Robinson.
Please email us to find out more info and joining the MEP Running Satsanga Marathon Program.
This journey will begin this August and build over nearly 4-months as we prepare and race together at CIM in Sacramento on December 6th. The program will be open to 5-6 athletes depending on race entries and being local to Los Angeles, there are 1-2 remote spots available too. It is a unique experience, the combination of running, and authentic spiritual development invites each member to stretch and grow in different ways. Some athletes will be fast, some will focus on finishing strong, but for everyone it is really about the process, the journey and finding your Why. We will aim for peak performance together but it is much more important to be devoted to the experience of each session. This is your invitation to challenge, to change, to grow and to push, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Mindful Endurance Program was started by Ryan Willms, as a way to bring spirituality and sport together. While diving deep into emotional work of his own, the parallel development of physical endurance not only supported this growth but the two complemented and helped each other, and so Ryan has begun developing a series of workshops and experiences where we can use the medium of movement practice to connect more deeply to our-Self and others.
