Profile Information
- About Me:
- I currently live in Wales and travel between there and Shropshire offering workshops and one-to-one somatic body therapy. I have always worked in the arts moving through music, fine art and dance. My approach to honor unique and spontaneous expression led quite naturally into the healing and ritual arts. I am very interested in cross-cultural work and collaboration and have travelled twice to study in India and worked with Suprapto Suryodarmo, a Buddhist Indonesian artist.

- What is your interest in Amida Trust
- My involvement with Amida Trust goes back a long way. I met Dharmavidya at a meeting in Hull more than 10 years ago and went out to France that year. Amazing. I was intrigued by the interconnections between creativity, healing and spirituality. Need I say more?! I went on to host a 5 week period in France the following year. I have offered workshops and performances at the bi-annual Conferences and value my ongoing connection with the Trust with a deep respect for all the continued effort and acticity of its founders and members.
