Reshad Feild is one of the best-known authors and teachers of spirituality in the West. Leaving his aristocratic roots in England at an early age, he worked as an antiques dealer, a stockbroker and a naval officer before, together with Dusty and her brother, he founded the British folk-pop trio The Springfields, which became worldwide famous in 1961. His lifelong mystical search took him to Zen monasteries in Japan and Buddhist shrines in Nepal, Sufi tekkes in Turkey and sacred places of the Sioux Indians. Influenced by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, he studied with Trungpa Rinpoche, Pir Vilayat Khan, John G. Bennett and others before he met Bulent Rauf, who became his spiritual guide and teacher. Reshad was instrumental in bringing "the Turn" of the Mevlevi dervishes to the West and founded spiritual centres in England, Canada, the USA, Mexico and Switzerland. Putting aside all religious 'labels', he keeps teaching the mystical science of breath and a unique, formless way to the common inner essence of all true spiritual traditions.
