I love to weave myth and nature into the Dharma. My interests are in working with the body, the heart, and the imagination in playful and experimental ways.
For many years now I’ve had a deep love of meditation, and intensive meditation retreats but it wasn’t always that way! I first came on retreat to Taraloka in 1991, and I chose a work retreat as the thought of lots of meditation was far too daunting. My favourite retreats involve nature, silence, meditating outdoors and poetry.
I’ve been involved in Triratna since 1991 and I was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in 1999.
I joined the Taraloka community 10 years ago because cooperative work and communal living are things that I value deeply, so I’m delighted to now be part of such a great team. I feel strongly for the importance of a retreat centre run by women for women. It is a quite unique situation, and something that I am keen in my role as Chair – and also retreat leader – to help support and develop.
