Akasasri

For much of my life the outdoors and living with nature, especially New Zealand’s beautiful mountains, forests, rivers and coasts, has been where I found my spiritual resonance and learnt how to navigate through the ups and downs of life. This was until 2009 when I attended an ‘Introduction to Meditation’ course at the ABC and life has not been the same since. Now with the life of raising a family behind me, the Dharma is my life, sprinkled with lots of doses of nature, especially out on the Auckland West Coast where I live with my partner.

I was ordained into the Triratna Buddhist Order in June 2017 at Akshavana in Spain, and am currently on the centre council, and help to support retreats. More of my time is currently devoted to supporting members of the Triratna Buddhist Order in New Zealand, as an Order Convenor.
