Description

Natural Breathing, Gurdjieff, Advaita Vedanta, Taoism, Chi Kung

Dennis Lewis was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He studied philosophy at the University of Wisconsin and received a degree in philosophy/religion from San Francisco State University in 1967. He has worked as an art gallery director, computer programmer/analyst, book editor, and public relations executive. He formed his own PR agency, called Hi-Tech Public Relations, with a partner in 1981. They sold the agency to a large English firm in 1988, and Lewis left the agency two years later. The agency had grown to 45 people.

Lewis has been on the path of self-knowledge and self-transformation his entire adult life. In 1964, he began studying himself from the perspective of the ideas and methods of the great spiritual pathfinder G. I. Gurdjieff. In 1966, realizing he needed more than books to help him, he went in search of a Gurdjieff group and soon made contact with the Gurdjieff Foundation of California. After several years of study in groups under the direction of Lord John Pentland, who was president of the Gurdjieff Foundation in New York and directed the foundation in San Francisco, Lewis was given the responsibility by Lord Pentland of helping to lead two groups in San Francisco. Lord Pentland also gave him permission to start his own Gurdjieff group in Phoenix, Arizona, a group which he continued for about six years. Lewis left the Gurdjieff Foundation in 1982.

Starting in the late 1980s, Lewis studied intensively for three years with the remarkable Advaita Vedanta master Jean Klein, whose work included an esoteric form of yoga and pranayama. During this period, Lewis also studied the ideas and methods of Moshe Feldenkrais, and studied briefly with Ilse Middendorf, the world-renown breathing therapist.
