I started meditating in 2006. As I come from an academic background (I hold a PhD in philosophy and have taught this subject in University), my mind was very busy—too busy. Mindfulness allowed me to let go of unnecessary thoughts, of negative emotions feedback loops. After several silent retreats, and as I was becoming a little bit obsessed with mindfulness, I decided to take the teacher training at the Mindfulness Training Institute with Martin Aylward and Mark Coleman.
My approach to meditation is a practical one. I teach applicable tools that can be integrated in your every day life.
I am very passionate about sharing these simple yet life-changing techniques, which allow us to gain freedom and ease in the face of difficulty. The challenges of life don't disappear, but the way we tend to them changes: we switch from reactivity to response, from resistance to ease, from absence to presence.
Classes are open to all.
