Some of my remarkable teachers whom I’ve met along my path
Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche (Dzogchen)
In 2015, I took Refuge with Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche (1938–2018) during his teachings at Northern Kunsangar.
He was one of the most revered masters of the Dzogchen tradition of the 20th–21st centuries, founder of the international Dzogchen Community, and author of the Longsal cycle of teachings.
His approach combined profound vision with vivid presence, and the blessing I received from him became a vital part of my spiritual lineage and inner connection with this timeless teaching — one that I carry within me through many lifetimes.

Lama Ole Nydahl (Karma Kagyu / Diamond Way)
During our meeting, Lama Ole Nydahl placed a Tibetan gau (reliquary) on the crown of my head, bestowing the blessing of the Karma Kagyu lineage.
According to him, this gau contains relics received from the 16th Karmapa and other great masters. In the Tibetan tradition, such reliquaries hold sacred texts, mantras, relics, and even strands of the Buddha’s hair — making them vessels of blessing and connection.
That moment became a symbolic transmission and a living link with the lineage.

Dzachtrul Jigme Rinpoche (Dudjom Tersar / Dzogchen)
Dzachtrul Jigme Rinpoche’s teaching radiates gentle directness and lucid presence, through which he transmits Dzogchen as the natural recognition of the mind’s essence.
He is the holder of the Dudjom Tersar lineage — the “New Treasures” of Dudjom — and continues the stream of realization flowing from Guru Padmasambhava and Dudjom Rinpoche.
The blessing I received from him became part of my awareness lineage, and the opportunity to photograph him during teachings was an expression of trust and deep connection with this tradition.

The Last King of Mustang (Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista)
In 2011, I received the blessing of the last King of Mustang — Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista (1930–2016), also known as Lo Gyalpo.
Even after the abolition of the Nepalese monarchy in 2008, he remained honored as a spiritual and cultural leader of the region. Our meeting took place in Lo Manthang, the ancient capital of Mustang, located at an altitude of about 3,800 meters.
His blessing became a symbol of protection and inner strength — a bridge between the ancient Himalayan traditions and the modern path of awareness.

Oleg Cherne (ChOM, Tse Kun, Ben Chelero)
Oleg Cherne is a contemporary master of Taoist alchemy, a researcher of consciousness, and a student of Carlos Castaneda.
His teaching unites Taoism, shamanism, and the alchemy of body, mind, and spirit. He explores the human being as a living laboratory of inner transformation, where energy, breath, and awareness become tools for awakening.
I studied Taoist practices and the “geometry of the brain” under his guidance.

Maya Mandala
Maya Mandala — a master of sacred knowledge and creator of Mandala Dance, Dakini Dance, and Egyptian Yoga — entered my path through somatic and energy-based practices where movement became meditation.
Her teaching, merging Eastern spiritual traditions and sacred geometry, opened for me the way of awareness through the body — a path where each gesture becomes a form of inner alchemy.

Tanit
Later, I continued studying with Tanit, a teacher of practices devoted to sacred feminine and ancestral wisdom.
Her classes — such as Dance of Kali and Dance of the Apsaras — became an experience of touching archetypal energies, working with the deep layers of memory and the energetic structure of being.
Through her approach — integrating yoga, tantra, dance, and systemic processes — I discovered the ability to perceive energy as a living substance, to sense the movement of life within and around myself.
