Stillpoint Zone opens a view into a space where time seems to pause.
Not by searching, but by forgetting what’s unnecessary.
Not more advice, accomplishments, or ultimate truths—
but small pauses into moments where peace, joy, and simplicity
are no longer things to reach for, but something we remember.
At its heart, it’s not even about happiness—
but about what begins to happen when we stop asking how to find it.
My name is Mikko Seppinen.
I studied yoga and its philosophy for decades,
and spent nearly as long teaching silence, presence, and embodied movement.
Years of practice and travel left their imprint—
but in the end, the only direction left was toward letting go.
Less knowledge. Less seeking. Less doing.
More space.
Nothing really came to completion—
but the unfinished began to feel like home
Stillpoint Zone is slowly emerging from this space.
Not as a solution, but as a reminder.
Not as a teaching, but as a landscape you’re welcome to linger in.
For now, it consists of slowly forming reflections on being human—
and on something quieter that lives beneath the noise.
I write more as a fellow traveler than a teacher.
And perhaps, through words,
something may be glimpsed that words can never fully reach.
I now live with my family in Turku,
on the southwest coast of Finland.
I write, read, walk, seek silence—
and practice the most demanding form of teaching I’ve met: parenthood.
I’m also a Star Trek fan.
If you wish to know more of the path that shaped this space,
there’s an early piece—A Journey That Wrote Me—
waiting quietly among the words.
