Tashi Dorgi (Adam)
Buddhist meditation and 5 element Tibetan Tantra teacher
Tashi Dorgi is my Tibetan refuge name. In 2012 I took refuge in the Buddhist Vajrayana “Shangpa Kagyu” Tibetan traditions.
I have completed yoga teacher training, participated in many retreats, and studied a variety of spiritual modalities. I am a westerner that has had the luxury to explore spiritual paths without pressure or shame.
With Buddhism I found a construct that allowed my altruistic beliefs to complement my sexuality with compassion. I have been taught that everything is part of the path and I hope that through co-creating with you, that together we benefit all beings. Om Ah Hum!
