Augusto Alcalde is an Argentinean Zen teacher and one of the first Dharma Successors of the late Robert Aitken Roshi. He also was fully authorized as a zen teacher by his first teacher the Monk Yuan Chueh in the year 1974.. He lives at the Autumn Bridge Dojo, and directs the "Cultural Corner", a place for Zen practice, and a center of Traditional Chinese Therapies. He teaches "Learning the Tao with the Body" ("Shingaku Do"-Dogen Zenji) which is the practice of the Chinese Internal Arts of Movement in the context and ground of traditional Zen and the Tao practices. Augusto, responding to the suggestions of Aitken Roshi in the Oahu Island of the Hawaii Nation, reincorporated the Internal Arts of Movement to his own teachings into the Soto-Rinzai Zen Lineage in which he is a Dharma successor himself. He taught and guided retreats, intensives, meetings and practices in Hawaii over the years. In 2001 Alcalde resigned from Diamond Sangha and founded the "Desert Rat's Zen Sangha"
