About the teacher

A quiet, direct path.

Andrew Holecek focuses his teaching on the Tibetan night-practices — dream yoga, sleep yoga and the bardo teachings on death and dying — bringing these less commonly taught aspects of Tibetan Buddhist practice to a wider audience through books, courses and his Edge of Mind podcast. He teaches in connection with Drala Mountain Center, a centre rooted in the Shambhala lineage.

He has a new book forthcoming through St. Martin's/Sounds True in May 2026, and continues online courses through Tricycle and the Shift Network, alongside his role as Resident Contemplative Scholar at the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies.
