Hi, my name is Kamalajoti, that means “radiance of the red lotus” in an early Indian language.The name reflect aspects of me. One is warmth that can be expressed in the context of friendships. The other is the approach to spiritual development that I find most helpful: allowing my being to unfold rather than forcefully trying to shape it. As a course facilitator I use my skills to offer others what I’ve personally found of great benefit – the Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings) and meditation. My facilitation is based on the adult learning approach – each person builds on their present level of understanding, we all have life experience to bring to the learning, and each of us is responsible for asking for what we need. (I in turn will draw on my understanding of the Dharma and interpersonal skills and will do my best to provide a helpful climate for learning).
