Alaric Hutchinson is an expert in human behavior and psychology with a deep fondness for Zen philosophy. He often combines the two, offering unique wisdoms that promote mind-heart healing for clients and students as they cultivate the peace teachings in daily life. His book, Living Peace, introduces the nine teachings and practices that have become known as the Living Peace Code. In summer 2021, A
laric will be releasing his next book, Living Earth, a spiritual companion to Living Peace. The same year he opened his first business, Earth Spirit Center for Healing, in the Phoenix-Metro valley of Arizona where he coached clients, taught classes, and led community services as an interfaith pastor for eight years. After selling his business in 2018, he moved to Durango, Colorado and founded the Church of Dunisha—a nonprofit that makes the peace teachings more accessible to the public while offering community services. Now in 2021, Alaric manages his second business, Earth Spirit Lodge, in Bayfield, Colorado that provides peaceful vacation lodging and personal wellness retreats for guests. Nestled in the beautiful mountain and forest landscapes of Colorado, Alaric continues to meet with clients and students while he writes additional books on the cultivation of inner peace. In his spare time he is known as The Zen Cowboy by locals—choreographing, teaching, and performing country line dancing with his dance troupe, The Bayfield Morning Stars, at town functions.
