Reshad Feild left the aristocratic roots of his native England at an early age to begin a life-long mystical search that took him around the world to Zen monasteries in Japan, the Himalayas in Nepal, Sufi mystics and whirling dervishes in Turkey, and the Gurdjieff and Ouspensky schools in England. He has been an antiques dealer, a stockbroker, a naval officer, and a performer with a British pop group. Reshad earned a doctorate in psychological counselling, and has run several esoteric schools in England, Canada, the United States, and Switzerland to help people embarking on the path of transformation. His other written works include Going Home, Steps to Freedom, Here to Heal, and Alchemy of the Heart.
