Deborah Luscomb
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Deborah Luscomb, a student of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche since 1974, and Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche since 1995, is primarily known for her decades of ritual textile production. In fact, she was seamstress to both Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche (Artist to the Court).
In addition to co-founding the Shambhala School, where she acted as Administrative Director for several years, she spent time at the Halifax Shambhala Centre as the Shambhala Training Director, and the Director of Practice and Education (many years ago), and is currently the Director of Community & Culture. She sits on the Steering Committee of Shambhala Touching the Earth Collective and leads monthly Earth Salons.
Deborah also founded Death Matters, the Halifax Death Café and co-founded Green Burial Nova Scotia. She leads Advance Planning workshops and acts as a Thanadoula and Funeral Guide.
‘Free moments’ are spent with her three sons, daughters-in-law, and three grandchildren, as well as gardening, birding, playing mahjong, and doing needlepoint.
Deborah has a passion for bringing people together around difficult, but necessary conversations, and brings extensive training in meditation, contemplation, deep listening and midwifery… and a fine sense of humour… to any conversation.
