We offer online and onsite events, classes, healing sessions, awakening transmissions, retreats and involvement in charitable projects. Khaying Garma Neten Drolkar is an American teacher, healer and writer who was born fully awake and aware of her life purpose for this incarnation. Khaying offers teachings on healing, awakening and enlightenment—teaching from direct experience and memories of her previous incarnations. In 2021, Khaying started Jalu Foundation, an educational, charitable 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to sharing her teachings, healing abilities and charitable activities with a wider audience. Khaying was born and raised in Chicago, lived in San Francisco and has visited most of the United States. She has traveled all over the world and stayed for extended periods of time engaged in formal meditation, practice retreat and pilgrimage in California, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Montana, New York, Massachusetts, Canary Islands in Spain, Thailand, Bali, Nepal and Bhutan. For over 12 years, her homebase has been Viroqua, Wisconsin. But her heart forever lives in Tibet. Since 2014, she has spent most of her time in spiritual retreat engaging in traditional mind training, meditation and contemplative practice—purification of the ordinary mind and heart, which uncovers our primordially pure, naturally enlightened heart-mind. In Buddhism, this enlightened heart-mind is called buddhanature and is the source of profound peace, lasting joy, ultimate happiness and fulfillment. In other wisdom traditions, which focus on direct experience or gnosis rather than intellectual book knowledge, buddhanature is called divinity, christ consciousness, cosmic consciousness, Source, Spirit, God and bliss. In June 2020, Khaying began teaching more openly to a small group of dedicated students. Despite her preference for solitude and seclusion away from society and human company, she has agreed to begin teaching more publicly in 2022. Since 2010, she has been a mother, spiritual teacher and school teacher to her son, who has lived in spiritual retreat and also traveled the world with Khaying for his entire life.
