Walk the Sacred Path of Apprenticeship

Shar Lee has devoted more than 60 years to the study of Buddhism and Eastern healing traditions. In 1987, she became the sole Western apprentice of the Tibetan monk Lama Dorje, receiving the rare Tibetan Cranial lineage through direct, traditional instruction. Following his passing, senior Tibetan lamas encouraged her to preserve and carry this work forward. Since then, Shar has dedicated her life to refining, practicing, and teaching Tibetan Cranial, becoming the lineage holder responsible for bringing this sacred tradition to the West. Today, she continues to train practitioners while preserving the authenticity and integrity of this extraordinary healing art.

Philae Amenti received the honor in May of 2016 of becoming the first designated teacher. Philae has been a health care provider for 40-plus years. She is a pioneer in the field of chiropractic medicine incorporating ancient and modern techniques for integrated healing. Her years of experience with, and profound respect for the innate intelligence and healing power within all of us  ultimately led her to Tibetan Cranial. She is an open-hearted, nurturing, and devoted teacher that distills inspiring wisdom in practical life skills, relationships, direction, and dharma. Philae has brought Tibetan Cranial to the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Midwest regions of the United States.
