Marti Romero has been attending classes at KMC New Mexico for over twenty years. She has participated in the General Program (GP) classes, Foundation Program (FP) and Teacher Training Program (TTP). Marti also helps to coordinate volunteers to take care of the many aspects of the meditation room (gompa) and deeply enjoys these practices herself. Her teachings reflect her deep love of Buddha’s teachings, or dharma, and her relaxed and sincere way of sharing the teachings makes it easy to relate them to our own daily experiences.

Cindy Chapman has been practicing Kadam Dharma since 2004. After attending General Program classes at KMC New Mexico, she then began to study on Foundation Program, which she is still participating in. Cindy volunteers in many areas at KMC NM and is currently teaching the Prayers for World Peace class every other week. Her way of sharing the teachings is very genuine, heartfelt and light as she draws from her experience of putting the teachings into practice in her daily life.
