About MITRA LEE WORLEY: Before she was a Buddhist, Lee Worley was an actor and theatre director. Upon encountering Buddhism she discovered an authentic spoken language for unveiling the non-conceptual world that she’d learned through performing.
Mitra Lee has been a theatre professor (Naropa University) and practitioner of Vajrayana Buddhism for half a century. She enjoys combining Buddhist approaches with the physical and vocal methods of collaborative improvisation. Mitra Lee has written two books on contemplative presence and performance. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.
The title, “Mitra,” means “spiritual friend” and was bestowed on her by Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche in 2005.
