Research Associate in Compassion, University of the Witwatersrand
I am a retreat facilitator, mindfulness mentor and researcher-practitioner, with a PhD in mindfulness and teacher education. I lead courses in mindfulness and compassion and run retreats throughout southern Africa. As a research associate at the University of the Witwatersrand, with Drama for Life, I supervise postgraduate students. My current focus on compassionate activism for a life-sustaining society aims to offer changemakers the skills they need to alleviate burnout, increase resilience, and cultivate wise, compassionate action. I have taken refuge in the Karma Kagyu School of Buddhism and the Engaged Buddhism tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. By attending regular retreats to deepen my own meditation practice, I am learning how ancient wisdom traditions can offer support as we address the many crises of modern life.
