About us
Alt-motivation is Edward Mark Vero’s attempt to use the ancient art of Karma Yoga to unify the seeming opposites of a rich, stable, free inner world — and an influential, sustainable, powerful outer world.




About Ed
Edward Mark Vero – Founder
Hey there!
Over the last decade of teaching meditation, I’ve realised that a particular kind of student was drawn to learn with me. These were people just like me, inward looking, able to see both sides of (most) things, yet were unable to feel motivated to get involved with the world around them.
Moreover, it seemed that people with less self insight were running the world around them.
But try as they might, they couldn’t build up the motivation to participate in that world.
These were liminal people, just like me. People who were on the boundaries of all things.
It wasn’t until I researched the roots of the meditation tradition that I’ve taught all these years, that I found the (often ignored) art of karma yoga.
This was a revelation to me. As it contained all the understanding, techniques and practices to unify both of my worlds. A inner spiritual world, and an outer material world.
This led me to teach and focus on this philosophy almost exclusively – digging up old texts and books that have almost been forgotten, and long out of print.
This is altmotivation – based on karma yoga, a completely different way of interacting with the material world than we’ve been traditionally taught.
My dream is that with this knowledge, those liminal people, just like me – are able to develop skills to create a world of unlikely leaders. Those who can claim their unique influence on the world, and have the skills to develop and expand their inner world in the process.
