His first formal studies were in the Fine Arts which he studied in the 60's in Berkeley where his expertise ranged from graphic arts to theater, cinema and ethnomusicology. He studied homeopathy and apprenticed with Dr. John Damonte in London in the early 70's. He continued these studies in Berkeley apprenticing with homeopathic doctors and working with the first Homeopathic Study group there. He continued his studies in the Middle East, England and North Africa in the mid 70's. 

In 1978, he travelled to Pakistan at the invitation of Hakim Mohammad Said of the Hamdard Foundation and studied there with various Hakims (traditional Islamic doctors) supported by grants from the Bawani Trust. His main teacher was Hakim Taqiuddin Ahmad at the Nizami Dawakhana, where he  learned Pharmacy in the Unani tradition. There he earned the title of "Hakim".

This also included workshops on communication and community consensus building including special focus on youth. He  worked with young people for many years and taught science on a high school level for six years in a very "hands on" method and worked on curriculum that is age appropriate and spiritually based in science for young people. 

More recently he began to focus on trauma and was certified in the methods of Dr. Peter Levine and others. Today he lectures and teaches classes and workshops nationally.
