I’m an Englishman in New York, going on five years here now. I’m an ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order, a contemplative and ecumenical tradition. I have taught meditation for over fifteen years and averaged two-to-three months of retreat per year for over twenty years. I love seeing people open up in response to these deceptively simple yet profound practices. With the right guidance and application, they tend to work in most cases.

I have trained with Brown Mindfulness Center as a Mindfulness teacher, and with the BodhiYoga school as a mindfulness yoga instructor. I have recently taught mindfulness to under-served communities as part of a Fellowship with the Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY). I teach courses on Mindful Emotion: Kindness Behaviour Training, deepening mindfulness, insight practices, and various Buddhist-oriented courses. I also guide and mentor men who are training for ordination in my tradition.
