After an initial glimpse in 1973, Magdi joined the Rochester Zen Center in New York, led by Philip Kapleau, an American teacher in the Sanbo Kyodan tradition.
In 1981, Magdi joined Toni Packer at the Springwater Center in Upstate New York. Toni Packer was a teacher of "meditative inquiry", and the founder of Springwater Center.
In 2010, Magdi met Francis Lucille in Temecula, California, a longtime friend and disciple of Jean Klein.
