Hello

I am Lori, the owner of Butterfly Clouds and I would like to welcome you to my site. I wake each day thinking of the world I want to live in and strive to accomplish what I can to create that world.

My career bridges across countries and cultures, it includes trauma therapy and transformational workshops, often with indigenous communities in Canada and South America. I also deliver wellness workshops, keynote speeches, lead meditation retreats and programs and delivery learning and career programs.

Whatever your journey the opportunities and abilities lie with you!

My Story

Over the past decades I have had the opportunity to broaden by knowledge and skills as a holistic counselor and healer. I have worked with wise teachers, Elders, and knowledge keepers from many indigenous communities around the world and been authorized to share these precious teachings with others.

In addition, I have extensive formal education and training that also informs my work. I believe I have the best job in the world, because I get to walk with people as they find happiness, inner peace, and kindness to themselves, the earth, and all living beings.

I studied under my root teacher Venerable Lama Losang Samten a renowned Buddhist scholar, teacher, and mandala master for 9 years. In 2009, as Lama Losang shared his wisdom on the Dharma, I had the honour of recording his wisdom in English which resulted in the book, Ancient Teachings in Modern Times: Buddhism in the 21st Century. This book offers guidance on how to live with greater peace, contentment, kindness and compassion in the modern world.

In addition to the dedicated study of meditation, I have also been fortunate to travel and work within Canada and internationally. These include diverse opportunities working with indigenous communities across Canada, including Nunavut, as well as in Central and South America. In each experience, I was honoured with wisdom shared by traditional knowledge keepers from within those rich spiritual traditions.

I lead meditation classes and wellness retreats, and for the past 10 years have offered holistic healing and wellness workshops, aimed at personal and professional development within First Nations communities in Northwestern Saskatchewan. I have a Master Degree in Education, which provides me with a strong foundation in creating and facilitating customized learning programs and experiences.

Dedicated to service, I strive to work from a place grounded in cultivating loving-kindness and compassion to all living beings.
