Since the mid-1970s, he has been deeply involved in cooperative community development, ethnobotany, and herbal medicine. Ken has also engaged in and promoted the indigenous spiritual and healing traditions of Mexico and the Americas. Since the 1990s, he has hosted scores of teachers from all schools of Tibetan Vajrayana traditions, especially Dzogchen; viewing its common roots in practice with Zen.
