Pieter Oosthuizen’s journey arcs from the wild edges of apartheid-era Johannesburg to the heart of contemplative practice. He teaches internationally on meditation, Vajrayana Buddhism, and the non-dual nature of reality. As a boy, he roamed the veld with a slingshot; by 19, he was conscripted to be an intelligence officer in the Angolan war. Afterward, he slung on a backpack and wandered east to life-shifting encounters in the Himalayan foothills and with the Dalai Lama in India. Back in South Africa he met Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche - the first of many esteemed Tibetan Buddhist teachers, including Lama Tharchin Rinpoche, Lama Wangdu Rinpoche, Tulku Sangngak Rinpoche, and Orgyen Khakhyab Lingpa. After earning his Law degree he again crossed oceans to Colorado in the U.S. where he served in leadership roles at Naropa University in Boulder and Tara Mandala Retreat Center, where he is a senior teacher (Lopön) appointed by Lama Tsultrim Allione. He is also the director of the Feeding Your Demons Institute. Across his roles, he continues to ask the question at the core of Skymind: How can we meet this moment with compassionate presence and embodied courage?
