About Tempel

With a desire to fully awaken I have spent many years living in the wilderness, urban areas, monasteries and retreat centers. Along the way I have deeply understood the patterns in my mind, heart and body that lead to well being and those that lead to my own suffering. From formal trainings and education combined with person experience I have begun to guide people into their own awakening.
