Ordained a Zen monk in 1974, Stephan studied with several Zen masters,
including Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and spent 10 years with Jean Klein,
before meeting Adya in 1999 and receiving Dharma transmission in 2001.
In addition to practicing as a psychotherapist and personal coach, Stephan
gives periodic satsangs and intensives and offers dokusan (spiritual
mentoring in the tradition of Zen and Advaita) by phone to seekers throughout
the world. You can contact him at (415) 451-7133, stephanbodian@hotmail.com or www.stephanbodian.org.
In February 2008, Stephan’s book, Wake Up Now: A Guide to the Journey of Spiritual Awakening, was published by McGraw-Hill. In his endorsement for the book, Adyashanti writes: “Both profound and practical, Wake Up Now guides the reader through the intricacies of awakening as only someone who has walked the walk themselves can do. The clarity and compassion this book offers the sincere spiritual seeker are both rare and welcome.”
