Om Mane Padme Hum
The Jewel in the Lotus
mentors & kindred spirits
When it comes to great traditions like Yoga and Buddhist Meditation, we who teach today are only able to offer anything because, as the famous quote puts it, “we stand on the shoulders of giants.” This is the meaning of lineage as well. The teachings and traditions are handed down carefully and lovingly from generation to generation, and now it remains for us to do the same—making available whatever wisdom and experience the Noble Path has granted us.
It is in this spirit that you will find on this page links to our Mentors—those who have guided us in the past and to this day in some cases—as well as other Kindred Spirits whom we have been privileged to connect with and learn from, either in person, online, or from a distance. We encourage you to explore these links and discover what these wonderful people and resources have to offer you. May you be blessed as we have been blessed!
To our teachers and lineages, we bow.
To our students and spiritual communities, we bow.
To our perfect, unborn awareness and intrinsic wisdom, we bow.

My soul honours your soul
I honour the place in you where the entire universe resides.
I honour the light, love, truth,
beauty & peace within you,
because it is also within me.
In sharing these things
we are united, we are the same,
we are one.
