Ani Lodro Palmo

Ani Lodro Palmo is a Tibetan Buddhist Nun and Spiritual Friend to those who seek peace, happiness and a deepening spiritual life.  She has dedicated her life in service to others’ growth and awakening.

Her teachings come from the direct experience of her own life journey – what she would describe as “the first half a pile of futile pursuits and indulgences to become somebody, and the second half a deconstruction of the first half to become nobody.”  

The focus of Ani’s teachings is to uncover the layers of our human condition to expose something more fundamental and intimate – an exploration of transformation through spiritual practice which carries us into a higher love, an understanding that we are this Love.

Ani’s teachings and retreats are offered as opportunities for growth – inquiries into our deepest belief systems and conditioning to expose what may be buried or secretly loved and feared in all of us – life, death, longing, loss, and liberation.
