Dorothée stumbled into the dharma – as if by accident – when she moved from her native rural German village into a Buddhist household on Halifax’s Bland Street in 1989.
In 1990, Dorothée took refuge with Tenga Rinpoche and completed a Pema Chodrön Dathun at Gampo Abbey. She went to Seminary in 1992, and received Vajrayogini Abisheka in 2005. Attending many Vajrayogini classes, Fire Offerings, and several Drupchens over the years has deepened her practice.
Dorothée’s particular interest lies in bringing the Vajrayogini Sadhana to life by digging into its storytelling aspects. As someone who likes to host a good party, she is especially fond of feast practice.

Vajrayogini Magnetizing Fire OfferingMay 1 - 4, 2025
Join Vajrayogini around the hearth to magnetize all good things for yourself, Dorje Denma Ling, and the world. For this section of the Vajrayogini Fire Offering, we are especially magnetizing the awake relationship between dharma teachers and students. The collaborative format of these precious few days offers a chance to deepen our practice: being able to jump into the leadership roles of loppön, umdze, and chopön gives everyone the opportunity to learn, and to gain confidence and understanding in all aspects of fire offering. We are so lucky to have the opportunity at DDL with its ideal fire-offering set-up; please join…
