Carolyn came to Los Angeles nearly 12 years ago to study for her Masters Degree at the California Institute of the Arts. Since then, she has established her private teaching and performing studio, Pacific Harps, and performs extensively as a soloist for special events and with orchestras and other musical groups both locally and abroad.

The Shambhala Meditation Center offers practice and study in the lineage of Shambhala Buddhism, unique in the world of Western Buddhism. This lineage combines the teachings of the Kagyü and Nyingma lineages of Tibetan Buddhism with the Shambhala view of living an uplifted life, fully engaged with the world. We are part of Shambhala International, an international community of urban meditation and rural retreat centers founded by the Vidyadhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and now led by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.
