Born in 1946, I left home at 21 on a quest to find a deeper meaning to life. After much travelling and living and practicing with many different spiritual disciplines I came upon the Triratna Community in 1998 after one of my sons died in a car accident.
I have four living children and many grandchildren. I was ordained in Spain in 2011, am very committed to the path of purification and have a passion for inspiring people to practise. For a long time, I supported Buddhist Recovery Network classes at the centre and daytime classes. These days, I'm involved in facilitating a Dharma study group that meets on Fridays - I love the people.
