A friend on the path
With fifty years of meditative experience, four decades of training in nondual wisdom teachings of Asia, and ten years of Christian spiritual and theological formation, I'm an experienced former university professor in Australia and Singapore with a Ph.D. in Studies in Religion (2003) from The University of Queensland. Backed up by 15 years of experience as occupational therapist in Singapore and Australia, I'm fully certified in Neurosemantics (2003) and Meta-Coaching (2004), trained in international relations (2009), and am now teaching and mentoring others in meditative practice and spiritual formation.
Since 1985, I've been taught by eminent teachers of meditation and nondual wisdom: in the lineages of Early Buddhist Tradition; Chinese Chan; Tibetan Buddhist Sutra, Tantra, Mahamudra, and Dzogchen; and Indic Tantra in the ancient lineages of Shiva and Krishna. My heart teacher of meditation is the late Acharya Godwin Samararatne (1932-2000) of Nilambe Meditation Centre near Kandy, Sri Lanka. My root guru in Sutra, Tantra, and Mahamudra is Gyumed Khensur Geshe Tashi Tsering (b.1937) and my primary Dzogchen guru is Lama Alan Wallace (b.1950). I've integrated my lifelong learnings into a direct, minimalist, immediate and relational process of nondual wisdom practice. This is education for the whole person from the core outwards. In the white fire of awareness, all that you are not is purified. All that remains is who you really are: awake and open to uncreated grace that sets you free.
Since 2003, alongside my academic and meditation work, I’ve been working as an internationally-certified coaching professional who specializes in accompanying people as they journey through life. By exposing dominant narratives, cutting off delusion, touching grace beyond the grip of self, and re-aligning one's body, mind, relationships, and world in synchrony with timeless awareness — we become quietly subversive presences in a dystopic world. We co-participate in mending and renewing all that is broken in our world (tikkun olam).
I'm excited to connect with you. Do get in touch. Much blessings!
