Her 2012 pilgrimage to Tibet focused on the Samye Monastery region with special access to Padmasambhava’s sacred mountain caves.
With a background of 45 years dedicated to meditation, interfaith activities and the study of Christianity, Vedanta, Buddhism and Anthroposophy, Surabhi has a firm belief that all sincere spiritual paths lead us to the universal goals of love, compassion and wisdom.
During 1974, Ms. Splain received a United States/India Educational Grant to study Indian religions. She stayed in over twelve major Indian cities to complete her research. Her United Nations experience includes 19 years at UNICEF Water and Environment Section, New York Headquarters.
With a BA in Art Education and a Master’s Degree in Waldorf Education, she has taught art from kindergarten through high school, as well as early childhood in both the Montessori and Waldorf methods. She retired from the Waldorf School of Garden City, in New York, where she recently displayed her illustrations for The Lotus Born for the Young at Heart. She is a watercolorist, who has exhibited her art work since 1995.view less
