London
Wise Studies was founded in 2014 by Ryan Spielman and Spencer Barron. Our
mission is to make available in-depth audio learning courses focusing on the
texts and teachings of the world’s great contemplative traditions. We work with
leading scholars, practitioners and experts in their field to produce quality
education for serious students of contemplative study. We aim to produce courses
that are engaging and informative with authentic, well-researched scholarship
supporting the topics we present. We are not only the founders of Wise Studies
we are consumers, as well! One of the reasons we are producing these courses is
for our own study. We are passionate about deepening our knowledge of the
traditions that have brought so much wisdom and joy into our lives. We consider
it an ongoing lifelong process. It is our hope to disseminate these courses to a
broad audience and bridge the gap between the academic world and general public.
It is important for us to maintain the rigorous standards that scholars have for
their research, yet, we also want to make this research available and digestible
for non-academics. Our authors have done an amazing job of producing in-depth
material that is clear, comprehensible and engaging. img_4469 Ryan Spielman I
have been a Yoga and meditation teacher since 1995. From a young age the
spiritual journey has been the driving force of my life. Wise Studies is the
natural progression of my passionate interest, deepening my understanding of the
traditions that have brought so much happiness and peace into my life. In
addition to my offerings as a Yoga teacher I also lead groups and facilitate
workshops dedicated to personal growth and awakening in London and around the
world. I host the Lonely Guru podcast dialoging with prominent figures in the
world of yoga. I also write and perform spiritual comedy songs that I’m sure
Wise Studies customers will enjoy. www.ryantrue.com. Spencer Barron I loved
Religious Education, History and English at school. I began an intensive search
for personal liberation quickly discovering a spiritual teaching that had its
roots in Hindu mysticism. I met Ryan while participating in a practice with
truth & authenticity at its core underpinned by the wisdom traditions we were
both passionate about. Establishing and facilitating this relational practice in
London and throughout the world I have expanded my interests and understanding.
The creation and development of Wise Studies is a natural continuation along
this path. In addition to my work with Wise Studies I spend a lot of my time in
the community working with disadvantaged adults and children with learning
disabilities. Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!
