Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö is a lineage holder of the Jonang school of Tibetan Buddhism. Born in the Tsorong region near the border with China to a nomadic family, he was raised among the high grasslands of Kham in an environment steeped in devotion to Buddhism but far removed from monastic centers.
From early childhood, he showed a natural inclination toward spiritual practice and an exceptional memory for prayers and teachings. His Eminence Katog Moktsa Rinpoche formally recognized him as the reincarnation of Katog Dazang. He later studied in multiple monasteries of the Nyingma, Sakya, and Gelug traditions.
Having learnt from over forty masters, Khentrul Rinpoche always followed the Rimé, or non-sectarian, movement within the Vajrayana. He hadn’t, however, connected with any lineage deeply and was still haunted by ideological confusion – by his own admonition – until he met his root guru, the revered Lama Lutrin.
Lama Lutrin belonged to a sect of Tibetan Buddhism in which he had, as of yet, no teacher: the Jonang. In this little known and much surpassed school the cycle of the Kalachackra teachings have been preserved most purely, and it was by these teachings that Khentrul Rinpoche came to posses the undying eye of dharma.
In a similar fashion, Shar Khan had many previous Buddhist teachers, but it was in Khentrul Rinpoche in whom he found both his master and tantric lineage. Having taken various empowerments before, Shar Khan has aimed his focus towards the teachings of the Wheel of Time, practicing the Vajra Yogas under his tutelage.
Don Lucas Choque is the leader of the Coincil of Amautas of Tiwanaku, the elder gathering of the ancient Andean mystery school. In him the pre-colombian culture of the Aymaras and the Tiwanakotas reaches us through the ages, as he has dedicated his life to the service of both men and the Apus – the spirits of the holy mountains.
Born among the high plateaus near Lake Titicaca, he grew up within the culture and faith he now upholds. He was designated the successor of Don Policarpio Flores Apaza, a great master of Andean lore that famously received his powers from being stricken by lighting – twice.
He speaks in terms of the great Heart of the Sky (Pachatata) and the love of Mother Earth (Pachamama). To sanctify their love in the minds of all people that come to him, he makes elaborate offerings paired with honest prayers. These acts are never mere ritual; they are the ways in which his people entered into conversation with the living cosmos.
Don Lucas lives by the teachings of vacuity (taypi), reciprocity (ayni) and harmony (suma qamaña), honoring the cycles that stretch back to the original time (chamak’ pacha). These concepts he taught Shar Khan, as well as the way to appease the spirits with the traditional Andean offering (mesa).
Although Shar Khan had many teachers from the Andean tradition, including Roger Choque, Mario Quispe and others from the Island of the Sun, Don Lucas is the man to whom the Dragon Lineage owes the most. In his humility we see all good offerings reflected, as he taught: for anything offered with a pure heart is received by the heart.
Don Agustín Rivas Vásquez is known throughout the Upper Amazon as the most prominent shaman of our age. He is a Banco, and perhaps the last one: the final stage recognized in Amazonian curanderismo. Born in the jungles of Loreto, Peru, he was called from youth to the plants and their wisdom.
He apprenticed under various healers who taught him the art of mestizo vegetalismo – the path of communion with plant spirits through dieta, song, and vision. Don Agustín’s mastery lays in his ability to translate the ineffable worlds of ayahuasca into song. Currently in his nineties, Don Agustin is one of the last bridges to the shamen of old.
He was also one of the first Ayahuasca masters to teach Westerner seekers. From one of these students, Miguel Kavlin, Shar Khan came first into contact with his Lineage. Having apprenticed and worked in Miguel Kavlin’s retreat centers for years, eventually Shar Khan came to recognize in Don Agustin his real teacher.
The story of how this came to happen is a beautiful tale that Shar Khan reserves for the committed, not the curious. Suffices to say that whatever he received from Miguel and from his many other shamanic teachers – from cultures as diverse as the Takana, the Shipibo or the Nike Koi – Shar Khan sees embodied in Don Agustin.
Don Agustin conferred on Shar Khan the title of Alto Muraya, or “Great Shaman” in 2025. Having sung his songs for over a decade, Shar Khan has now become a lineage holder of his tradition, teaching others not only Don Agustin’s icaros but also the power contained in other, more secret practices of shamanic healing.
Babaji Baldev Singh is a radiant and pure embodiment of the mystic path of union with the Beloved. Born into the Sikh tradition, his early years were those of a devoted family man; yet when his predecessor appointed him as a successor, the divine swiftly transformed him into the beacon of love we see today.
To those who meet him, Babaji is both mirror and light. He is most humble, sweet, and filled with love and compassion. He can see through us and give guidance directly from Source, often without words. Sitting in silence with him feels effortless, like catching a wave that carries one home to bliss.
He teaches not from ideology but from pure being. His method is devotion, his temple is the heart and his practice Jaat Pahara, a special transmission of reciting the Divine Name. It was under his gaze that Shar Khan realized the meaning of
transmission. They both agree that the spiritual direction of the age is one of integration of religions beyond prejudice.
In Bulandpuri, India, Babaji’s gurdwara has become a living mandala of this teaching. There gathers a community of Sikh devotees from all over the world, who pray without hypocrisy, who worship with sincerity and who serve with joy.
They treat one another with respect and love; every person who arrives feels welcomed, cared for, and uplifted.
In recent years Babaji has expressed a clear calling: to open this path to seekers from all nations. In conversation, he has spoken of his dream to dissolve the barriers of prejudice and unite cultures, religions, and peoples in “Humility, Kindness and Love”. By this name he has inaugurated a movement which unites people across faiths and cultures.
Sara is a spiritual guide, medicine woman and counselor devoted to awakening the sacred within human life. Her work bridges the visible and invisible realms, inviting deep transformation through the balance of spirit and structure. Drawing from psychology, energy work and ancient ritual she creates grounded yet mystical spaces for authentic shadow-work.
From childhood, Sara felt attuned to subtle energies and unseen worlds. Her sensitivity matured into a lifelong study of mystical traditions, inner alchemy, and intuitive perception. This journey revealed her vocation: to help others remember that the sacred is within them, mirroring their growth through clarity and presence.
Her meeting with the Dragon Lineage deepened this path. Recognizing in its mission the same practice of divine remembrance she had long followed, for many years she joined retreats in Europe, India, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia and the United States – first as a student, later as a facilitator and finally as an Initiate.
Her refined awareness anchors the group field, harmonizing energies and supporting participants to surrender into the vast intelligence guiding each experience. An essential presence in each ceremony, her role in retreat focuses in embodiment and integration both within and outside ritual spaces.
Sara currently runs her own ceremonies in the United States as well as joining for retreats around the world. While Shar Khan remains the source of both shamanic and yogic empowerment, her function is fundamental in allowing each participant to weld the loftiness of all teachings into the fabric of daily life, helping people to live in tune with their own visions.
