Kritee (dharma name Kanko), Ph.D., was born and raised in India by a single mother in the family of a visionary lawyer and Gandhian freedom fighter who taught her to speak up for love and justice. She came to the United States at the turn of the century to start her scientific research on environmental science. Today, she holds the titles and credentials of a Climate Scientist-Educator, meditation teacher, Buddhist Zen priest, grief ceremony leader. She is founding spiritual teacher of Boundless in Motion and a co-founder of Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center, two nonprofit organizations based in Boulder, Colorado. With over 25 years of climate and environmental science experience—including 12 years as a Senior Scientist and Director at the Environmental Defense Fund—she combines rigorous research with teachings on healing, reindigenization, environmental justice and nonviolence.
