About Us

Meet our growing team!

Our volunteer community is made up of our residents, our Trustee group, our Management Advisory Board, and our local and national volunteers. Here’s quite a number of those who volunteer for Gomde.

With Rinpoche as our Spiritual Director and Lama Öser as our resident Lama, together we offer authentic Buddhist teachings and seek to provide a supportive environment for learning, reflection and meditation.
