Rowan first met Rinpoche in 2003 at Vajradhara Gonpa, a connection that shaped his path in both personal and spiritual life. Trained in Mental Health Nursing, he carries a grounded presence and a thoughtful interest in philosophy and the inner journey. Rowan finds joy in nature through surfing, snowboarding, and mountain biking. Though he calls himself a “coffee and dog” person, he’s equally content with a cat in his lap and a cup of tea in hand.
