Training, practice and influences
I have practised meditation since 2017. I continue to work personally with teachers.
My teacher training includes Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program and Dharma Moon’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training with David Nichtern.
My practice draws most deeply from Plum Village and the Karma Kagyu lineages, alongside an interfaith upbringing and respect for many more contemplative traditions.
I think of my work as secular in the root sense of the word: belonging to this age.
