I have been active with meditation and spiritual practice for over forty years. I have been a disciple of Gururaj Ananda Yogi for over 35 years, and have many years of experience with Tibetan Buddhist and Dzogchen traditions.

My interests and experience include the teachings of my root guru, Gururaj Ananda Yogi, Advaita Vedanta, Tibetan Buddhism, Dzogchen, Trika Shaivism and the contemporary “Direct Path” teachings of nondual spirituality.

I am an artist and, until my retirement, was an art professor at a number of colleges and universities, including a dozen years as the Dean of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, an historic art school and museum in Philadelphia. I now live in San Diego, California.
