Adam Lobel

Adam Lobel (Ph.D) served as a teacher (acharya) in the Shambhala tradition from 2005-2018. He leads ecodharma workshops called “Silent Transformations,” teaches in the Ecosattva Training, is a GreenFaith fellow, and is active in ecological and social justice movements. Adam’s teachings focus on Great Perfection Tibetan Buddhism, modern phenomenology, and inoperative studies (Heidegger, Foucault, Agamben). A professor of Buddhist and phenomenological psychology, he is curious about transformative pedagogy and a cultural therapeutics for our collapsing society. He remains attuned to a wise, just, terrestrial civilization. Adam teaches a critical style of contemplative training that seeks to avoid enclosure in neoliberal mindfulness while still disclosing effortless awareness. He is currently developing what he calls “four fields” of contemplative practices for potential worlds.
