Güzin is a member of the Trisong Grant Committee, which identifies and supports organizations and individuals who are working to promote mental health and well-being. She is a psychotherapist and academic who previously worked internationally and now resides in the UK.

Having lived in different regions of India for over a decade, Güzin collaborated in translation projects for various Buddhist archives while studying Tibetan Buddhist meditation and rituals.

I have been studying and practising dharma for over two decades, following the rimé or nonsectarian approach to learn meditation techniques and rituals of different Tibetan schools. I am a fully ordained ngagmo in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
