I’ve been teaching meditation since 2014 and the more I teach it, the more I love it. If I’ve learned anything over the years of teaching, it’s that everyone is different, with their own strengths and weaknesses. In order to teach well, I have to get to know each student individually, guide each one to tap into their own innate wisdom, and offer instruction that fits each student’s unique circumstances.

The ten years I spent as a Buddhist nun gave me the great privilege of being able to practice meditation in great depth and detail. I was blessed with good teachers and all the support I could have hoped for. I spent five years in Myanmar, where I studied diligently in the Theravada tradition under the guidance of Pa Auk Sayadaw. I then spent another five years training in several other centers and spent many months on long independent retreats in various caves and forests.

The opportunity to practice meditation so comprehensively was the greatest gift of my life. My passion now is to repay this debt of gratitude by providing the same opportunity to others.

Since deciding to disrobate in 2018, I have been on a steep and amazing journey of learning, reintegrating the challenges of Western secular life into my Dhamma practice. Through this process, not only has my appreciation of the Dhamma deepened, but also my understanding of the students I teach.

In addition to teaching meditation, I am passionate about community building. In recent years, I have led the Sanditthika meditation community in the caves of Almeria in the south of Spain. At the same time, I look for ways we can support each other wherever we are in the world. If this work interests you, I welcome you, either online or in person, or both, to join our community.
