Caroline Pfohl

Caroline’s teaching approach is grounded in 40 years of rigorous practice of the Vajrayana, Chan and Daoist traditions, and is offered in a fresh and accessible way that does not sacrifice depth. Her programs are highly experiential, centering on the body and the natural environment as powerful teachers, and exploring deep relationship with the sacred other – both human and beyond.

Her teaching is also a practice of the tantra, meaning to weave, viewing every aspect of life as sacred and worthy of respect. Caroline herself has interwoven spiritual practice through a life of work in human rights, philanthropy, business and the arts, as well as an active family life.

She offers a progressive and comprehensive path, from one’s first experience of meditation to the development of steady and blazing awareness – the open, connected, responsive awareness that is at the core of who we are.

As Spiritual Director of the Dharma Ocean Foundation, Caroline shares what she has learned from the Dharma Ocean path as well as her Daoist and Chan teachers, both through the Hemera Collective and the Dharma Ocean Foundation.
