Laura Puts

Laura grew up in a Shambhala Buddhist household in Germany and was familiarized with meditation practice and the Shambhala world from an early age. She graduated from the Shambhala School in Halifax and went on to study languages and international humanitarian action. She worked in (post-) disaster and conflict zones such as Haiti, Iraq and Ukraine for 15 years, specialising in project management and coordination. In 2024, Laura took on the role as Director for Dechen Chöling, where she lives and works now.

Laura has always felt a very strong connection to the meditation in action experience of Dorje Kasungship and the very specific forms used as practice ground. She is very connected to Sun Camp and interested in how Dorje Kasung and Sun Camp leadership training translates into our everyday lives.
