Beth-Upton

I have been teaching meditation since 2014 and the more I teach the more I love it. If there is one thing that I have learned in my years teaching it is that we are all different with our own strengths and weaknesses. In order to teach well I need to get to know each student individually guiding each to tap into their own innate wisdom offering instruction that fits each student’s unique circumstances. /The ten years I spent as a Buddhist nun afforded me the great privilege of being able to practise meditation in much depth and detail. I was blessed with masterful teachers and all of the support I could have hoped for. I spent five years in Myanmar training diligently in the Theravada tradition under the guidance of Pa Auk Sayadaw. I then spent a further five years training in several other methods and spent many months doing long solo retreats in various caves and forests./The opportunity to practise meditation so comprehensively has been the greatest gift of my life. My passion is now to repay that debt of gratitude by providing the same opportunity to others. Since deciding to disrobe in 2018 I have been on a sharp and wonderful learning curve reintegrating the challenges of western lay life into my Dhamma practice. Through this process not only has my appreciation of the Dhamma grown deeper but also my understanding of the students I am teaching. /As well as teaching meditation I am also enthusiastic about building community. Over the past years I have been leading Sanditthika Meditation Community in the caves of Almeria Southern Spain./To book a meeting for personal instruction please follow this link to the appointment page of my website and book an appointment from there.
