Individual guidance is an integral element of the spiritual path,
​either in an ongoing way or at key junctures in practice. 

It is best to work with a teacher whom you can see in person for teachings and/or guidance. This may mean that you travel to attend teachings. Making this effort has been an effective way to receive spiritual guidance for millennia.
 
In the current world, technology allows connection to a teacher virtually, which can also be effective when done sincerely (and it also allows teachers to extend teachings to many more people).
 
Here is some general guidance about how I serve as a teacher for individuals. Nonetheless, each case is treated uniquely.
 

• If you have a Dharma question, you may wish to send email. Perhaps I can answer in a straightforward way.
• If you wish to speak with me:
  • Check out my recordings and writings to get a flavor of my teachings
  • Consider attending some of my teachings
  • Before we have a practice discussion, please tell me a bit about your daily practice, as well as any other teachers by whom you feel guided or inspired
  • I tend to have ongoing practice discussions with people I know because they attend my teachings
• All guidance is offered on a dāna (donation) basis. Consider deeply the value of what you are receiving. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
