Claudia Thurn has been following the Buddhist path with Sogyal Rinpoche since 1995, after the early passing of her father. Since then, her deep underlying interest has always been spiritual care.
She has been coordinating Vajrayana and other practices internationally and in Lerab Ling, Rigpa’s retreat centre in southern France, since the start of Rigpa’s Three Year Retreat in 2006, holding and continuing the lineage and tradition of Vajrayana practice that Sogyal Rinpoche established during his many years of teaching Western students.
Claudia continues to deepen her study and practice, and to make practice materials and knowledge available for the Rigpa sangha. She has accomplished a number of long-term closed retreats, and is dedicated to helping establish the Vajrayana Buddhist tradition in the West.
