Klaus M Nielsen is a speaker and mentor of communication and higher consciousness in London. Utilising his unique ability to apply ancient Eastern philosophy on modern challenges, he provides simple solutions to complex challenges.

Klaus spent years traveling the world as a renounced monk, deliberating on Eastern thought and culture to a wide range of audiences, from spiritual leaders, philanthropists and executives, to university students, IT-professionals and bankers. He also initiated the “Ask a Monk” project, sitting in public spaces with a sign that read “Ask a Monk - Any Topic” offering street philosophy to anyone who would engage with him. He took the project to Times Square/New York, Nasa Space Center/Houston, Harvard University/Boston, Venice Beach/LA and London Soho’s Theatre District, to name only a few.

Prior to this, Klaus spent seven years at an ancient Vedic academy in India. Accepting the robes of a renounced monk, he lived without earthly possessions, engaged in daily meditation, menial service and controlled austerities, and studied ancient scriptures of Eastern philosophy under the guidance of a world renowned Guru. This became the foundation for his current thinking, lifestyle and worldview.

Klaus M Nielsen’s life is arguably stranger than fiction. Growing up in a prosperous family in Denmark, he had all material opportunities at his disposal. A nagging feeling that something crucial was missing led him to explore subcultures, as a teenage hacker, radical left-wing activist, video game designer and international EDM DJ. Disappointed to find hypocrisy everywhere, he eventually decided to give up all his possessions and leave the material world behind.

Klaus M Nielsen’s first memory is when, at the age of three, he walked onto a garden lawn on a warm summer day, stared into the sun for a while (not recommended), and thought with the abstract mind of a toddler: “There must be a source of everything.”
