My practice and teaching
My meditation practice and teaching draws from my background in Vipassana (Insight) – a Buddhist approach to meditation based on the Theravada lineage, but universally valid independent of any religious believes. Developing mindful awareness and a calm abiding in the present moment are central to the practice
In addition to my own home practice, I’ve done many retreats: Usually I spend 3 weeks per year on silent retreats, mainly at Amaravati monastery in Hertfordshire (a Theravada Buddhist monastery in the Thai forest tradition) with Ajahn Amaro or Ajahn Sundara, or with my teacher Burgs.
They have definitely been my strongest influences, but I’ve also been influenced by the teachings of S.N. Goenka (and his vipassana retreat), and other teachers, particularly Tara Brach, Rick Hanson and Jack Kornfield.
I teach meditation, mindfulness and self-compassion, as part of my regular classes, in dedicated courses over 4-8 weeks – both in-person and live online, and as part of my yoga and mindfulness retreats. Classes and courses cover a range of subjects including eastern philosophy, modern psychology, neuroscience and more.
