E58: Lobsang Chunzom - The joy in Helping Others
A beyond empowering and insightful conversation with the Venerable Lobsang Chunzom, who besides being an ordained Buddhist nun, is the founder and CEO of the Limitless Health Institute. She has provided therapeutic services in hospitals as well as created programs to help substance abusers, incarcerated youth and families in crisis. She really finds joy in helping others, and is convinced that you can too!
Lobsang Chunzom’s philosophy integrates wellness with social engagement. She helps people realize the connection between their own health and how they treat others [care for others, support others, kindness towards others]. She guides people in partnering with others to reduce conflict nd create healthy spaces in which everyone can thrive.
She designs Limitless Health Institute programs, grounded in Eastern philosophical principles, that enable participants to recognize the power of their thoughts and actions to affect their lives at home, at work, and in the world. Her customized curricula include programs for individual happiness, family harmony, and organizational effectiveness. Participants leave the programs with practical tools that they can immediately use to improve their lives and the lives of their coworkers, friends, and loved ones.
A New York State Licensed Creative Arts Psychotherapist for more than 30 years, Chunzom specializes in dance and theater. She has degrees in movement therapy from NYU and UCLA and has provided therapeutic services in hospital settings as well as created programs to help substance abusers, incarcerated youth, and families in crisis. She has been a leader in many ADTA associations.
An ordained Buddhist nun, she completed a 3-year meditation retreat. For more than 20 years, she has been teaching meditation and philosophy in the Je Tsongkapa Tibetan tradition. She incorporates Western theories of learning, methods of analysis, and ethics with an Eastern understanding of the body and mind. The result is a unique approach to health through helping that unites self-care with social justice.
In order to help more people realize the power of helping others, Chunzom founded Limitless Health Institute in 1997. It is a nonprofit organization that collaborates with other caring organizations in NYC to help people experience the link between their own health and happiness and how they care for others. The LHI workshops she designs and facilitates are used worldwide.
