A gentle note on choosing a teacher
Paths Are Many is offered as a doorway for discovery. Being listed here is not an endorsement, recommendation, or guarantee of a teacher's conduct or competence. We cannot comprehensively vet every teacher included, and a listing reflects visibility, not verification.
Spiritual teachers often work with limited outside oversight, and qualifications alone cannot tell you how someone treats their students. Please take good care of yourself: research any teacher from more than one source, pay attention to their conduct as well as their teachings and credentials, and trust your own discernment.
