As a Chopra Center certified meditation teacher, this was difficult to read. I value integrity and transparency in the wellness world. The recent reporting about Deepak Chopra’s connection to Epstein raises important concerns. I felt it was important to share this with my community.

For context, one of my favorite voices on ethics in spirituality is Rick Archer. He is the host of the Buddha at the Gas Pump (BATGAP) podcast and co-founder of the Association for Spiritual Integrity (https://www.spiritual-integrity.org). The Association for Spiritual Integrity raises important questions about ethics and accountability in spiritual communities. Rick was my meditation teacher long before my path crossed with Deepak Chopra.
I’m grateful for Rick and other teachers who lead with steadiness and integrity.
