In my practice and work I feel connected to Early Buddhist Teachings, particularly to the voice of the Early Buddhist discourses prior to their organisation into doctrines, schools and traditions.

My understanding and approach is shaped by the people I had the privilege to learn from and practice with, by my professional, monastic, therapeutic and academic trainings, the stages and landscapes of my biography. Thankful for these multiple influences, I do not belong to any orthodox school, tradition, or lineage today.
