Tessa Ladendorf

Tessa Ladendorff was born into the Shambhala community and has been meditating since the age of 5. She attended her first month-long retreat at 20, which began her life-long love of Dharma practice and study. Tessa has a deep heart connection to the Rites of Passage program, having assisted her mother in teaching it in both Boulder and DMC Family Camp for much of her teens and twenties. She lived in Germany for several years working for Shambhala Europe, before moving back with her husband to raise their children in Boulder. She works as a mama, designer, artist, and astrologer.
