Mark Moore
Cofounder, Director, Instructor & Facilitator
Mark Moore is an educator, social entrepreneur, natural builder, writer-editor, composer-producer, and designer devoted to creating a more compassionate, sustainable, and equitable world.
Founder of the Earthville Network in the US and cofounder of Dharmalaya Institute for Compassionate Living, in the Himalayas, Mark has been launching and nurturing altruistic and creative projects around the world since 1997.
Mark’s main focus since 2010 has been developing immersive, contemplative service-learning programs integrating sustainability with inner development, catalyzing the empowerment of warm-hearted changemakers — especially those who normally might have less access to such knowledge, skills, and resources.
One of Mark’s greatest passions — both in his own projects and as a consultant — is the art and craft of compassionate cultural container-building. That is, the design, establishment and refinement of purpose-driven communities, organizations, and environments that embody the values and qualities they seek to promote. He draws on traditional wisdom and fresh creativity to leverage the power of insightfully sculpted organizational cultures to bring out the best in the humans that comprise them and manifest more impactful and harmonious results.
Mark serves on several nonprofit boards and advisory groups in the US, Europe, and Asia. He also serves as a meditation retreat facilitator and mentor for Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche’s Tergar Learning Community and has volunteered for diverse educational and charitable projects worldwide since 1987.
All of Mark’s nonprofit work is as an unpaid volunteer. He earns his living from his side hustle with Studio Lungta , a purpose-driven creative lab and consulting firm he cofounded with Daphne Charles.
He loves nature, music, and fair-trade vegan chocolate.
