Martin Mosko and Alxe Noden will explore the means by which we can express our inner harmony as outer beauty. Drawing on both Oriental and Occidental philosophies, Mosko and Noden will describe an entirely new way to think about garden design. Whether you have a small urban courtyard or a large yard, the ideas presented will inspire your heart and imagination. This lecture will be of interest to landscape architects and designers, people interested in the fusion of East and West in cultural expression, and garden lovers everywhere.

He studied painting and Sanskrit at Yale, and has apprenticed with Japanese master gardeners. Mosko is a Zen monk and heir to the lineage of Tenzan Keibun Otokawa Roshi. He trained in Tibetan Buddhism with Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and, in addition to his responsibilities at Marpa, he travels the country lecturing on garden design and meditation. Alxe Noden was educated at Cornell and Boston University School of Law. She studied Tibetan Buddhism with Tara Tulku Rinpoche. An accomplished writer and photographer, Noden has been with Marpa since 1993.
