Author of 'Beyond The Veil' and 'The Flavour Of Liberation - Volumes One, Two and Three', Burgs has been teaching meditation in Europe and Asia since 1998. He has a deep grounding and understanding in all aspects of meditation and energetic cultivation, and has a profound appreciation of how different spiritual practices and traditions fit together as a whole.
