Cynthia Jurs Author

Cynthia Jurs is a dharma teacher in the Order of Interbeing of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and was made an honorary lama in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism in recognition of her dedication in carrying out the Earth Treasure Vase practice. Inspired by thirty years of pilgrimage into diverse communities and ecosystems, today Cynthia is forging a new path of dharma in service to Gaia—a path deeply rooted in the feminine, honoring indigenous cultures, and devoted to collective awakening. Cynthia directs the Gaia Mandala global healing community and leads meditations, retreats, courses, and pilgrimages to support the emergence of awakened and embodied sacred activists. She lives at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in northern New Mexico where she is often found walking in the wilderness with her dog or gardening with her husband.
