The Lama Foundation: About Lama

Lama Foundation is: a "community", a not-for profit organization, and a "spiritual home" to many. Our Mission is to be both a sustainable spiritual community as well as an educational center dedicated to all spiritual paths. Situated about 20 miles north of Taos New Mecixo, on just under 110 acres at 8600 feet, Lama Foundation is almost completely surrounded by Carson National Forrest, giving one the feeling of being "way out there", or away from civilization. There are vistas, sunsets, pristine mountain-spring water, vegetarian cooking, and a wide variety of animals that share the mountain with the community. See Sh'mal's recent blog post "More on the Ganja Boogie Band" for a reference to this intentional community
