New to Dharma College?
Welcome.
You may have come because life feels stressful, unsettled, or overwhelming. You may be seeking greater meaning and engagement with the world. Or perhaps you are simply curious about your own mind and the role it plays in shaping your experience.
At Dharma College, we study mind because our experience has shown us how profoundly mind shapes the world we live in. It can open us to beauty, joy, connection, and possibility. It can also keep us caught in worry, reaction, and familiar patterns.
The mind is not our enemy. As we begin to understand its nature and recognize how our experience is being created, we discover new ways of seeing, knowing, and engaging with life.
Dharma College brings a living wisdom tradition into contemporary life through study, inquiry, contemplative practice, and direct experience.

TESTIMONIALS
What Changes For Students
“Warm, caring environment. Easily-digestible, small nuggets of “homework” (a.k.a. daily concepts to meditate or reflect on). A gentle way of nudging oneself towards awareness. This was a wonderful course to experience and to help see the forest through the trees of both your work and personal life.”
— Darlyne Dolap
“A wonderful course with wonderful classmates. A profoundly refreshing approach to work, better and far deeper than the usual professional growth workshops.”
— Victoria Riskin
“Our class helped me focus on the suffering of not letting go and how we can experience the difference of letting go. Thank you, Wangmo and classmates for sharing. I will continue to explore how letting go can bring positive changes in life.”
— Alan Olson
