The Buddha gave the Noble Eightfold Path as a way to direct our lives away from bewilderment and towards true freedom. As we find ourselves  in ecological crisis and realize its impact on the planet and our lives, the Buddha’s teaching and the teachings of the Earth become ever more relevant and essential.

Ayya Santacita will offer teachings on this theme with an encouragement to bring the Path to the whole of our experience.

Santacitta Bhikkhuni was born in Austria and did her graduate studies in Cultural Anthropology, focusing on dance, theatre and ritual. She also worked in avant-garde dance theatre as a performer and costume designer. In 1988 she met Ajahn Buddhadasa in southern Thailand, who sparked her interest in Buddhist monastic life. 

She lived and trained in England and Asia from 1993 until 2009, primarily in the lineage of Ajahn Chah. Since 2002, she has also received teachings in the lineage of Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. (Monastic Training History)

Santacitta Bhikkhuni co-founded Aloka Vihara in 2009 and received Bhikkhuni Ordination in 2011. She is committed to Gaia as a living being and resides at the Aloka Earth Room - Dharma, Ecology & Art Space, currently located in San Rafael, CA.
