Stuart Perrin was born in New York City on August 10, 1942. At the age of sixteen he began a search for a teacher who could direct his creative energies on a spiritual path. He studied literature, philosophy, acting and wrote poems of a visionary nature. He lived a bohemian life in Europe and Africa until his twenty-fifth birthday when circumstances forced him to return to the States. It was at that time that he met Rudi (Albert Rudolph) in New York City. Mr. Perrin became a disciple of Rudi's, and their relationship grew closer over the years. They were together at the time of Rudi's death in 1973 in an airplane crash. "I never felt he had gone. If I wish to be with him, to learn from him, I just open my heart. He is there. Sitting. Smiling. Sharing his teachings."
His studies with Rudi gave Mr. Perrin a deep insight into how meditation and inner work could help a human being find a method whereby it is possible to live in the world and be free of it at the same time.
Stuart is a long-time writer and author of five books and many essays, both fiction and non-fiction, weaving his understanding of inner work and affairs of the heart with equal dexterity.
Stuart has a meditation center in New York City where he offers classes, lectures, and meditation retreat intensives around the country. He has many students throughout the United States, Europe, Israel and Brazil.

A deeper sense of surrender:
These were the last words Stuart Perrin’s spiritual teacher said to him before being killed in a plane crash. For years, perrin had sought insight and spiritual teaching throughout the world, only to finally find them in the laughing Buddha-esque form of rudi, a popular, iconoclastic, jewish American guru.
In spiritual life, perrin distils rudi’s teachings while adding a generous measure of his own on relationships, sex livelihood, spiritual development, teachers, students, yoga, and perhaps most importantly, staying centered and getting grounded.
The teachings are full of paradox. We fight and we surrender we struggle and we let it happen, we engage and disengage, we advance, retreat, study with a teacher go it alone.
How could it be otherwise? Spirit is so overwhelming, so mysterious, so real, as to dwarf our conceptions and belief systems. Simply put, find your own path to spiritual growth as it unfolds in front of you. Spiritual life is an indispensable guidebook for treading a spiritual path without getting stranded, distracted, Or lost.
