In 1986, Kaisch began working with psychologist Dr. Ronald Wong Jue, then president of the Association for Transpersonal Psychology. Together they organized the Harmonia Mundi conference, which brought psychologists and religious leaders together. As part of this initiative, Dr. Kaisch led the Congress of Contemplative Traditions, which gathered meditation teachers from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The conference’s keynote speaker was the Dalai Lama, in the year he received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Concerned that the Church was not teaching its members how to connect with the Divine, Kaisch founded OneHeart in 1986, an ecumenical organization that teaches Christian contemplative practices. OneHeart grew to twelve groups meeting weekly in Southern California. In the 1990s, it held three international conferences on Christian meditative practice, the last of which featured Bishop Kallistos Ware.

In 2024, after retiring from his clinical practice, Dr. Kaisch moved with his wife, Susan, to a small farming town on California’s Central Coast. He is devoting this chapter of his life to writing and to helping people find a deep connection with the Divine. In his free time, he plays jazz and blues guitar, gardens, and spends time with his dog, Maggie, whom he affectionately calls “the Wonder Dog.”
