Shunya Ladendorff

Shunya was born in Boulder Colorado to students of Trungpa Rinpoche.

In her teens she moved to Marburg Germany and was a part of the Shambhala community.

The practices of protection and Container Practise have been a part of her life since she was 8 years old and attended Shambhala Sun Summer Camp in Darla Mountain Centre. Within that group she held many leadership positions and attended many meditation Programmes she feels that they have been extremely helpful in her life as a parent of three and in her work life in which she holds a leadership role in a Waldorf School in Hamburg Germany.
