I’m an artist, lama, writer, and contemplative systems builder exploring how wisdom reveals itself through modern life.

For more than fifteen years, I’ve trained in the Tibetan Buddhist direct practice lineages of Dzogchen and Mahamudra.* That training grounds everything I do: from teaching meditation and mentoring practitioners, to building communities and developing technologies that help people understand their own minds.

My art has been an inquiry, too. All while I was quietly deepening my own contemplative practice, publicly I was appearing on world stages as Tasha the Amazon, an award-winning rap, R&B, and electronic recording artist and stage-diving force. It was a bass-heavy meditation on aliveness and awareness in the midst of culture.

At some point, the split between my cultural and contemplative lives disappeared. Now I move through both at once. My work spans contemplative science, psychology, tech, art and creativity, and traditional practice.

I stage dive less now… but nothing’s off the table

All of my work is guided by one mission:
To integrate contemplative wisdom into modern systems, so that awakening can move through individuals, communities, and the whole culture at large.
