Wizdom and Compassion

A lover of the outdoors, hiking, swimming, travel and helping others, Kevin enjoys meeting new people and exploring new cultures. 

Born in Ohio, Kevin’s spiritual journey began in 1993. He moved to Nepal in 1998 to study Buddhism.  In Nepal, he worked for the Rangjung Yeshe Institute and helped develop and grow the Buddhist study program from a four-month course with 30 students into a university program offering BA, MA and PhD’s in Buddhist studies with over 200 students.  At the same time, he studied Buddhist Philosophy and practiced different Tibetan Buddhist meditation systems, including Dzogchen and Mahamudra, while also spending time in isolated retreats, gaining nuanced understanding of the meditation principles and the mind.

In 2019, after 23 years in Nepal, he was called to deepen his practices, which brought him to Peru to work with the sacred medicine ayahuasca.  His profound experiences with ayahuasca immersed him in a new, but complementary, spiritual path.
