What was the inspiration behind BodhiMind Center?

In March 2009, the Tibetan Buddhist monk and teacher Khen Rinpoche Kachen Geshe Lobzang Tsetan visited Colorado Springs and taught in a variety of settings. The turnout for and response to his talks, on the Colorado College campus and elsewhere, was so positive that Khen Rinpoche suggested to Natalie Morris and David Gardiner, who organized his visit, that they consider establishing a new, nonsectarian Buddhist Center in Colorado Springs. A few months later, they founded BodhiMind Center.
