|previousretreatsdetails=This is really a Yes/No answer. I have not officially completed a group or private retreat as a full participant, but I have participated in many retreats beginning in 2022 as a Dharma volunteer. I attached my "dharma resume". Due to volunteering at the Gomdes, I have been able to take part in many daily sessions as well as teachings and instructions from some amazing Lamas and Teachers. I became a resident at Gomde California in 2022, so I was also able to take part in the daily morning and evening sessions there for many years, and during the down time I would also spend my free time doing formal sessions. So although I have not truly practiced the four sessions a day of "one month or longer" these past five years or so I have picked up quite a lot and have practiced in many group sessions by just being part of Gomde's community. | |previousretreatsdetails=This is really a Yes/No answer.

Mostly I have helped in kitchens, but I have also helped in other ways. I worked on the Tech team in Lumbini 2024 and Vietnam 2023 for Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche's International Seminars. I was also a full-time resident volunteer at Gomde California from 2022-2025 and helped with many day to day operational tasks doing all sorts of things from painting to gardening to lots of cleaning, as well as being their main cook for their yearly retreats, seminars and teachings. | ||
|othercommunitywork=Yes so much community work it is hard to list here! Before coming to the Dharma I was very active in my community in Reno, Nevada, doing all kinds of activist-type things. I was involved in the arts, the food scene (working as chef, advocating for local and sustainably sourced organic food), the sustainability/environmental scene, River Justice (cleaning the Truckee River), Cobitat (A natural Building Workshop that teaches people how to build homes out of Adobe using no-harm building methods), Be the Change Project, and was just a helpful hand to Elders and parents with young children in my community | |othercommunitywork=Yes so much community work it is hard to list here!
