Aged 42, English, married, I’ve lived in Kidlington, near Oxford, for three years. Interesting previous residences include rural Lincolnshire, Karlovy Vary, London, Prague and Cambridge.

I’m a teacher of Religious Studies, English and sport at The Dragon School, Oxford. Since I offer people instruction in meditation I guess I’d best present some credentials: I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Buddhism and I’ve been meditating since 1985. I’ve also written a book on Taoism - you can see it (and preferably buy it!) by clicking the “Bookshop” link at the top of the page.

I meditate for about 20 to 30 minutes each morning and again most evenings. I’ve also done some more intensive monastic retreats although, as you can see in the photo, I’m not a monk.

In the past I have received training in shikantaza and tai chi. My present teacher is Koro Kaisan Miles, who is kindly directing my koan training.
