In these modern times, many claim knowledge without the living teacher-student relationship which is so intrinsic to this tradition and to the digestion of wisdom that can only be passed "chest to chest". While I have followed my formal training with a great deal of personal research and exploration through books, the credentials below constitute the in-person study I have done with dear honored and esteemed teachers. In their presence I hope to have gained something beyond information, but rather wisdom that may mature and grow over time. May the time they spent with me not be wasted, and may the seeds they planted flourish.
