Field Notes gathers observations from decades of travel, research, and encounters with teachers, practitioners, and cultural traditions across the world. These pieces document moments of discovery that illuminate how knowledge is transmitted within living traditions.

Some entries recount meetings with remarkable individuals. Others capture small but revealing experiences — a training session, a conversation, or a glimpse into the cultural environment where a practice takes shape.

Rather than formal scholarship, these notes preserve the texture of lived experience. They reflect the human contexts in which wisdom traditions are practiced, shared, and carried forward from one generation to the next.
