GAIA MANDALA
GLOBAL HEALING COMMUNITY
OUR FOUNDER
In 2018 in recognition for her many years of study and practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and her devotion in carrying out the Earth Treasure Vases, she was recognized as a Lama at the root temple of Kushok Mangden Rinpoche, Tolu Tharling Gompa, in Nepal by the current abbot, Lama Ngawang Tsultim Zangpo.
Cynthia holds these titles and dharma affiliations lightly. Her true source of refuge and spiritual inspiration is Mother Earth; Gaia. Inspired by thirty years of pilgrimage into diverse communities and ecosystems, today Cynthia is forging a new path of dharma, connected to the Earth, in service to Gaia, deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous traditions, and teaching an embodied, engaged, sacred activism through meditation and prayer, ceremony and ritual, pilgrimage and council.
Her book, Summoned by the Earth, is forthcoming and a documentary film is in process.
