Amaradīpā has been coming along to the Auckland Buddhist Centre for many years, and was particularly involved in the creating, organising and leading of our popular annual Family Retreat. She was ordained in June 2016 in the mountains of Spain, and delights in the opportunity to support others' journey of self discovery through the meeting of the Three Jewels. Amaradīpā is a mother and works as a psychotherapist. In her professional work as well as her spiritual practice, she embraces her love of the arts (photography, poetry, and dance) with her deep trust and openness to the mysterious unfolding of the Mythic Realm.
