Acacea Sherman-Lewis, also known as Ani Pema Dolma, is a Buddhist nun (Getsul) in the Tibetan Vajrayana Kagyu lineage. Formerly, her work focused on cultural anthropology, ethnobotanical studies, and consciousness research through her educational platform, Divine Master Alchemy, which explored traditional entheogenic practices and cross-cultural spirituality.
Today, her life is devoted primarily to the Buddhist path through practice, retreat, and service. She serves as a Chopön during Nyungné retreat at Ser Cho Ling and practices under the guidance of her tsawei lamas and root gurus, Mike Crowley and Wangchen Rinpoche. Her path is rooted in devotion, contemplative discipline, and the aspiration to benefit beings through the Dharma.
