About the teacher
Bruce Joel Rubin
Rubin's spiritual path began after an early psychedelic experience sent him traveling through Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and living in ashrams, a Tibetan monastery and Buddhist temples across Asia. Back in New York he met his primary teacher, Rudi (Albert Rudolph), a kundalini-yoga teacher whose tantra-inflected approach to energy and surrender Rubin describes as having merged his spiritual and creative life into "one unfolding."
He continues to teach a weekly Sunday meditation class and talk over Zoom, free of charge but by invitation only after contacting him directly; recordings of his talks dating back to 2005 are publicly available on his website and YouTube channel.
“The ultimate climax of a real story is awakening from story. And that's the great journey for all of us.”Bruce Joel Rubin
