Moving On

Born in 1942, Stuart Perrin has trodden the spiritual path since he was sixteen. He studied literature, philosophy, acting, and poetry, and lived a Bohemian life in Europe and Africa until he was 25 and met his teacher, Albert Rudolph. Better known as Rudi, this iconoclastic spiritual teacher gave Eastern spirituality a new American slant, and Stuart Perrin has been carrying that slant forward ever since Rudi's death in 1973. His studies with Rudi gave Stuart a deep insight into how meditation and inner work can help a person find a way to live in the world and to be free of it at the same time. The author of four previous books, and an expert in Oriental art, Perrin ran a meditation center in Texas for nine years before moving to New York city, where he lived for 20 years. He subsequently moved to Woodstock, New York, and has since returned to New York City where he continues to teach spiritual work in the tradition of Rudi.
