Tracie Palmer

Tracie entered the path after many years of cautious curiosity and quickly found her spiritual home at Natural Dharma Fellowship. She is blessed to be a student of Lama Willa Blythe Baker, Lama Liz Monson, Brendan Kennedy, and Lama Justin von Bujdoss.

Tracie has worn many hats at NDF and is currently a meditation teacher and Vice President of the Board of Directors. In 2021, she left the practice of law to attend Harvard Divinity School to pursue a Master of Divinity and a career in hospital chaplaincy. She begins her chaplaincy residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia in September 2024.

Tracie’s interests include death and dying, grief, poetry, and ways of honoring our shared humanity across differences. She lives in Philadelphia with her beloved wife Cynthia, dog Rupert, and cat Teddy.
