Sherab Leypoldt has studied with Sogyal Rinpoche since the early 1990s. In 1997, she moved to Rigpa’s retreat centre in southern France, Lerab Ling, where she studied and trained for over 20 years; receiving empowerments, teachings and instructions from great masters in all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, predominantly in the Dzogchen Longchen Nyingtik lineage. From 2006 to 2009 she attended Rigpa’s Three Year Retreat.

In 2011, Sherab moved to Australia, where she now lives on the breathtakingly beautiful Mid-North Coast of New South Wales.

Sherab continues to research, compile and make available Sogyal Rinpoche’s teachings. She helps to develop courses, events and materials for Rigpa’s students and centres around the world. She is currently coordinating a seven-year Home Retreat that provides education and training on the complete Buddhist path, from the Basic Vehicle right up to Dzogchen, which is being run in three countries.
