Kavaradhi
Kavaradhi began practicing meditation in 2007, having been intrigued by mystical texts since early adulthood. This early interest in spiritual experience went on the back burner for a number of years, until she learned meditation and found it transformative. During those years she established a career in the NHS. She first encountered Buddhism at the London Buddhist Centre and lived in an associated community for over a decade, joining the Triratna Buddhist Order in 2021.
In 2023 she moved to Vajraloka to become part of the community and Teaching Mandala there. She has a love and appreciation for the wild plants and creatures integral to the local landscape, and their associated meanings and images. She is a qualified Breathworks mindfulness and meditation teacher and is especially interested in what happens in direct experience, both her own, and that of other people. She enjoys looking at mythologies, and the role of imagination in experience.
