Roger Zim is one of the most experienced teachers in the Arica School. In 1970, he was part of the original group (composed mainly of Esalen staff and Big Sur residents) who journeyed to Arica, Chile to study with Oscar Ichazo. Roger has been teaching Ichazo’s Protoanalytical Theory and Method since the first Arica training in New York. He continued teaching and working closely with Oscar while teaching in San Francisco and Los Angeles. He then returned to New York as a member of Oscar’s staff. In the early 2000s, Roger finished a graduate degree in Philosophy and began teaching in the Philosophy Department at Sonoma State University. He retired in 2022.
