About Us

GO101 is a product of years of love for the outdoors, combined with over twenty years of studying and practicing concepts within the teachings of Buddhism and Shinto Philosophy, specifically the deeply rooted concepts of “Man with Nature” and the harmonious balance of the combined artificial and natural.

David Miles, the founder, first embarked on this journey into Shinto Philosophy while completing his Architectural Thesis during his master’s degree in Sustainable and Environmental Architecture. It was during this time that he became dedicated to the study of the Human Psyche in balance with Nature as a means of holistic self-healing and happiness.

After years of exploration, travel, and a vast array of journeys—both by himself as well as with his family—David began to pursue a way to provide these concepts and philosophy to others as a means of education. He also sought to create a place where those who are subconsciously searching could find a platform to begin their own journey, with all the basics provided to take that first step into exploration.

Thus, GO101 was born. The name speaks for itself, where “Go” suggests an action—doing something, such as going outside and starting something new. Additionally, “101” signifies the beginning of a task or the starting point.

It is David’s desire that through his Stories, Journeys, Videos, and Testimonies, others who are also searching for more meaning in life can take the first step into a new and exciting adventure—one of happiness, achievement, self-healing, and health. The vast beauty of nature provides all of this to us; we simply need to go find it.
