Michael Conklin
Michael Conklin

Lama Michael Conklin became a student of Kalu Rinpoche in 1974 and came to KCC in 1993 following completion of the traditional Kagyu three-year, three-month cloistered retreat. In 1999, Bokar Rinpoche renewed his request that Michael teach the North American Mahamudra retreat; KCC has sponsored or co-sponsored the retreat each summer since then.

Dora DeCoursey and Bill Spangle assist Michael with teaching. They have been practicing at KCC since 1980 and completed a one-year retreat in 1998. Julia King Tamang is the instructor of KCC's children's program; Julia has degrees in teaching and curriculum development, and has been at KCC since 1993.
