Masters Series: The Teachings of Tilopa
Tilopa stands as a towering figure in the annals of Buddhist history, particularly within the context of the Mahasiddha tradition. Tilopa's path to spiritual enlightenment was one of profound depth and intensity. Emerging from the confines of ordinary existence, he embarked on a quest for truth that transcended the limits of conventional understanding. Renouncing the comforts of mundane life, he delved deep into the heart of esoteric practices, embracing the path of Tantra with unyielding determination. Listen to over 5 hours of commentary recorded during the Masters Series retreat: Tilopa held in spring 2024.

Mindfulness, Yoga and nature have played an important role throughout Kevan Gale’s life. Influenced at an early age, Kevan was first introduced to yoga by his Aunt and Uncle while they lived in the United States before moving to India where they created a 350-acre wildlife sanctuary.
As a US Trustee of SAI (Save Animal Initiative) Sanctuary, Kevan continues to work closely with his Aunt sharing both yoga and their love of nature. Kevan’s grandmother also played an important role in his life, imparting in him her Native American roots and respect for Mother Earth. This early introduction to the natural world led Kevan to pursue degrees in Environmental Sciences and later a career in environmental consulting that spanned 12 years.
Kevan had the good fortunate of meeting his current teacher Khenpo Lama Migmar, Harvard University Buddhist Chaplain, who he has studied with for over 15 years. He left consulting to fully dedicate his time to yoga, mindfulness and Buddhist teachings. He owns Fluid Yoga and Stil Studio in Dedham MA where he shares the path of yoga and mindfulness. Additionally, Kevan teaches mindfulness at Northeastern University where he is currently working in collaboration with Dr. Dudley to expand the host of offerings to mindfulness students.
