✨Welcome to Bodhisavage!✨
If you’re new here, this is your map... 🗺️👽
What’s this space all about?
Bodhisavage is a wild lil space for creativity, connection, and wisdom. It’s for those who want to wake up, slow down, laugh hard, and dive deep…sometimes all at once.
The Rhythm of Bodhisavage
Each month follows a moonly rhythm, giving us different ways to connect, reflect, and practice together:
🌑 New Moon: A kick-off essay to spark insight and inspiration.
🌓 Roam: A prompt to help us Wander! Wonder! Create!
🌕 Full Moon Sit: Join me live on Zoom for practice and connection.
🌗 Rest: A recorded meditation to relax, let go, leave be.
You’re invited to take what serves you and leave the rest (but leave them with kindness).
Who’s behind the curtain?
I'm Tasha Schumann—an artist, meditation teacher, writer, and co-host of The Mind Bod Adventure Pod, based in Toronto.
I’m a glorious mutt—a Jamaican-German Buddhist Lama who teaches from the wisdom traditions of Tibet and India.
As an artist and music producer, I also spent a big chunk of my life inciting dance parties and mosh pits (New York Magazine’s The Cut once called my music “the perfect soundtrack for a molly-fueled bacchanal at the end of the world.”)
I stage dive less now… but nothing’s off the table 😉
In my practice, meditation and creativity are expressions of the same thing—the quest for meaning and connection. A continuous practice of curiosity, deep looking, and love, aimed at finding wisdom in the trash fire that is 21st-century life.
What kinds of practices do I share?
Everything I teach is rooted in the lineages of Dzogchen, Mahamudra, and Vajrayana. I also have a degree in Psychology from the University of Toronto, alongside extensive training in Western contemplative modalities that adapt ancient teachings for the now times.
I share practices that bring us into direct contact with the wisdom and magic of the body, nature, creativity, inquiry, insight, and play. These are practices of liberation for our bodies, hearts, minds, and communities.
I mentor & teach artists and practitioners around the world.
