Bodhisavage is a contemplative community for practice that is alive.
We work with the natural creativity of mind itself, using practices rooted in lineage and brought to life for these bodies, these minds, and these times.
Wild as in Embodied. Elemental. Awake. Free.
This is for people who want practice to take them all the way. To change how they see, how they relate, and how they live their lives.
Whether you've been in it for years or you're a relative noob. Whether your shelves are full of dharma books, self-help books, or witchy earth magic. You're the one who's always asking the big questions that no one else seems to ask:
But it can be confusing. It's not always clear what to practice or study next. You wonder if you're going deep or just going in circles. And mostly, you're doing it alone.
That's a real path. It's the path of the mahasiddhas, the householders and wandering yogis of the ages, who took their own awakening into their own hands and turned the muck of real life into powerful practice. That's what this space is built for.
As a community member, you get to help shape this space and the offerings in it.
If it makes practice richer, more embodied, more true, and more fun, there's a place for it here 🙂
I'm an artist and Buddhist lama from a long lineage of yogis who practiced wherever they found themselves. For some it was the mountains of Tibet, the charnel grounds of Varanasi, or the caves of Tso Pema. Mine is here: the streets of Toronto and the wildernesses I tend to wander off into. I practice in the traditions of Dzogchen, Mahamudra, and Vajrayana.
These lineages are full of tools and teachings that point to a single radical claim: you don't need to be a special person in a special place to wake up. With a little motivation, a few good teachers, and some like-minded friends, it can happen wherever you are, whoever you are.
No one can keep you from the clarity already present in your own mind.
So Bodhisavage is my cave. It's not a monastery or a mountain hermitage. It's a place for urban yogis like me to learn, practice, and wake up together. Somewhere to go deep without going it alone.

Courageous, playful, rigorous practice, and good company for the path.
