Please join us for the fifth lecture in our Posthumanism and Buddhism series on March 24. Dekila Chungyalpa will present her talk Mother Wisdom: Learning to Embody Interdependence in the Anthropocene.
Over the last 14 years, Dekila Chungyalpa has worked with a diverse group of faith leaders around the world, building faith-led partnerships on environmental and climate efforts in the Amazon, East Africa, the Himalayas, the Mekong region, and the United States. In this session, Dekila will speak on what she has learned in the process and how she draws upon the lessons from her upbringing in Sikkim and the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism she belongs to in order to weave programs that connect inner, community and planetary resilience.

Dekila does research in faith-led efforts supporting environmental protection, sustainable development, and global health issues. She is the Director of the Loka Initiative, Center for Healthy Minds and Healthy Minds Innovations at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
