Profile Information
- About Me:
- British female, retired and living in Sardinia. Married, no children. My husband has two grown children living in the UK, so I can officially call myself a wicked stepmother ha. We have three cats.
- Faith Background & Affiliation
- Raised primarily in the Church of England but not as a practitioner
- Occupation or Primary Activity
- Now retired, I have worked mostly in customer service, although I also worked for some years in horticulture. My last and favourite job was Front of House Manager in an Arts and Media Centre in the UK
- Involvement in Spirituality/Religion
- Very little in the past, a general feeling of spirituality which I couldn't quite find the place for. Attracted towards Buddhism back in the UK in the 90's, but because of various personal issues did not pursue it.
- What is your interest in Amida Trust
- I am now seriously interested in Buddhism but feel quite isolated as I have no-one else to discuss this with, and to be honest a bit confused about all the information out there. To begin with I need a framework in which to explore my beliefs and feelings and some kind of structure. A series of connections led me here.

- I am interested in the arts in general; literature, cinema, writing, photography and art itself. I practice yoga and meditation, I like to write, I like to communicate with others, I am fairly creative but get greater pleasure out of witnessing the creativity of others, I love to encourage other people to express themselves and communicate. I teach English to friends here. I speak Italian. I consider myself intuitive, open and understanding. I have lots of questions and I'm still looking for most of the answers.
