Classical scholar and spiritual teacher Peter Kingsley was born in the UK. He received his BA from the University of Lancaster, his Master of Letters from King's College, Cambridge University, and his PhD from the University of London. He has been made honorary Professor at the University of New Mexico and Canada's Simon Fraser University. He is a former Fellow of the Warburg Institute in London.
