His work has helped thousands of people across the globe reach a new understanding of themselves and lead happier, richer and more fulfilling lives. Dr. Warter resides in North San Diego County with his wife Carolina, where he leads seminars and workshops, has a private practice and paints. His embodiment of essential spiritual teachings allow a field of understanding to whoever is open which leads to the awakening of a spiritual path-less PATH. Instead of subscribing to a linear and left brain sequential teaching model , his teaching is based apparently on his Kabbalah and Sufi initiations plus the time he spend with Amazonian teachers partaking of their living traditions as well as having been taught personally by Idries Shah, the Dalai Lama and many others , Dr. Warter has produced a teaching that allows Essence to awaken when students are ready so that all techniques become secondary to a state of being which becomes senior to all philosophies or methods. Dr. Warter, without ever intending it, has been teaching for close to half a century utilizing technologies of the sacred and imbuing them with his spiritual signature.
