We choose teachers with care, drawing on their experience, their lineage, and the depth of what they offer, and we try to portray each of them fully and honestly, so you can look beyond charisma and sense whether their path speaks to you.
We do this with attention, but we can't know everything, and we can be wrong. So we'd gently encourage you to follow your own discernment too: read widely, sit with your questions, and look into a teacher yourself before making a commitment. Appreciation and honest reflection can sit side by side.
Where does the teaching come from, and how is it presented?
Costs, organisation, authority and potential conflicts are made visible.
Appreciation and critical context can exist side by side.
