Meet Mark power
Mark has over 30 years of experience supporting, training and coaching people to bring their lives into alignment with their most important values. He is a longtime student of the Buddha’s teachings, studying with his teacher, Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche, since the early 1990s. Like so many, he came to this path seeking to engage a larger, kinder, more playful sense of being.
Mark Power
His compassionate care for others shines throughout his leadership roles at Nalandabodhi and his work as a chaplain and life coach. Today, Mitra Mark joyfully explores the interplay of dharma, relationships, leadership and the arts, encouraging generosity of heart, humor and wisdom in every area of life.
As a young man he went “on the road” exploring North America. It was a formative experience of self-discovery, provoking a lasting desire to discover what it means to be authentic. Mark has studied with teachers of the Buddhist tradition who introduced him to contemplative methods that he has practiced throughout his life and that form a cornerstone for his transformational work with others. Professionally, he has also served as a chaplain in hospice and palliative care.
