Lama Tsultrim Allione was the first American to become a Tibetan Buddhist nun in 1970. For several years she lived in sacred places, caves and hermitages in the Himalayas. Later she disrobed, married and had four children. She maintained a deep practice and studied with many of the most important Tibetan teachers of the last 50 years. She is now a renowned teacher and one of the only female lamas in the world today. In the early 1970’s she was initiated into the Chad practice which was developed by the 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdron. Some years later she began to teach the Chod practice and gradually developed her own version which is more suitable to contemporary Western practitioners which she calls ‘Feeding Your Demons’ a five step practice based on feeding not fighting our demons such as anxiety, depression, or addiction. In 2007 she was recognized in Tibet as the reincarnation of Machig Labdrön. She has written several books including ‘Women of Wisdom’ and ‘Wisdom Rising’.
