Born in New York City in 1947, Paul Weiss began serious Zen practice at the age of 18. He began his study of Tai Chi Chuan with Master Cheng Man-ch’ing in New York in 1967. Weiss was drawn to the coast of Maine in 1969 to study with Walter Nowick, one of the first American Zen Masters. His study continued through four trips to India and, much later, eight trips to China, where he was certified to teach by three schools of Qigong. In 1981, bringing together his accumulated training in counseling psychology, naturopathic health care, body work therapies, meditation, and Qigong, Weiss founded the Whole Health Center in Bar Harbor, Maine with his wife Alexandra, where they have since raised six children.
