Brent Purple Oliver

Brent Purple Oliver is a meditation and mindfulness coach, award-eligible author, and spiritual degenerate. He’s known for his colorful style and brash attitude. His radically life-affirming approach emphasizes playfulness and discovering appreciation for everything about being human: good, bad, ugly, and freaky. Especially the freaky, because existence is awesome but it’s pretty damn outlandish. 

He writes a lot about his own experiences as a tragicomic misfit on the contemplative path. His journey has been a hilarious 80s movie montage of slapstick mistakes, occasional insights, and utter confusion. By sharing it honestly, he hopes it will provide some entertainment and maybe help others avoid his missteps. 

As a spiritual degenerate, he intentionally subverts typical ideas of transcendence, purity, and enlightenment with good-natured cynicism and wicked humor. His refusal to embrace sacred and social standards has been a hallmark since he took his first mindful breath. 

Purple loves heavy metal, horror movies, kitties, and his wife. He lives in Lexington, KY with all those things.
