Matt has been practising Buddhist meditation since 2008 in the early Buddhist and Zen traditions. He has been studying with Leigh Brasington in the tradition of Ven. Ayya Khema since a transformative retreat at Gaia House in 2013. He qualified as a Zenways meditation and mindfulness teacher in 2017, and was authorised to teach jhana retreats in 2022. He has benefitted profoundly from these practices in his own life and is keen to share them with others for the benefit of all.
