I first encountered meditation on a retreat in the Tibetan tradition while backpacking through Asia in 1995. At that point it seemed like just another experience during this one year adventure, but something stayed with me. I knew that I wanted to spend more time in India, so in 1998, after graduating from University, I left my job and took up the backpack again.

One of the first things I did was another retreat at the same monastery I had been to 4 years previously. This love affair with India, retreats and meditation grew and I continued practicing mostly in the ‘insight meditation’ school of Theravada Buddhism. At the same time my partner Nathan and I spent long periods as volunteers in dharma centres and ecological projects.

The wish to combine social and environmental care with meditation moved us to explore further ways of expressing truth and love, and in 2004 we co-founded SanghaSeva. I now spend most of my time dreaming up and facilitating retreats around the world that offer service as a spiritual path.

Since 2006 I have been teaching on silent retreats and dharma gatherings in India, Europe and Israel.
