Theresa Ulfa

Theresa was flooded with the realization of the White Drop at age 5. Her intuition, love of God, and experience maneuvering the subtle planes were present throughout her childhood. She began meditating and practicing subtle healing modalities at age 13. At 19, she began entering samadhi states after a transmission from the late spiritual teacher W. Brugh Joy. At age 23, Theresa began her working partnership with Geoffrey Ulfa. Together, they discovered Theresa's ability to use various kinds of light to clear and activate subtle body structures for others. Geoffrey facilitated the activation of her kundalini, and she began entering deep savikalpa states shortly after. At age 24, Theresa realized the Blue Drop/Blue Pearl, entering a permanent samadhi state traditionally described as the realization of universal consciousness. It took several years to stabilize this realization, and it profoundly impacted her practice and her work. None of that is the kind of claim an outsider can check, and it is set down here as her own account rather than as fact.

At age 29, Theresa began offering group transmissions. Between 2020 and 2021, at age 34, Theresa facilitated the realization of the White Drop and the entry into samadhi states for a small group of people devoted to their spiritual work. She and Geoffrey continue to support students and community members with tools, practices, and instruction for cultivating samadhi states, as well as offering regular transmissions at low or no cost to as wide a community as possible.

Her internal work is a combination of learned and innate skills. Her ability to open up foundational "light" or source allows her to make changes to the subtle body. Some believe she is an emanation of Nila Saraswati, a form of the Mahavidya Tara. Internally, people sometimes see her as blue or even frightening-looking at times. Her internal ferocity is only directed at the things that restrain us from our innate wisdom, happiness, and our spiritual progress. Her goal is to make serious spiritual work and accomplishment available to as many people as possible, especially those traditionally excluded from the teachings and opportunities to gain realization.

Theresa welcomes and works with individuals from all spiritual backgrounds, but her primary personal practice is the Jonang Kalachakra with her Root Guru, Khentrul Rinpoche.
