Teacher: Nicole Keller

I am a geologist, mum of two, nature lover, yoga teacher and passionate about discovering more and more about the true depth of human experience. I have been meditating regularly for the past 7 years, and I am currently in the second year of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program run by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield, two of the most respected mindfulness meditation teachers in the western world. I have attended silent retreats in Iceland with Ásta Arnadóttir and Sharda Rogell, and at Gaia House in the UK with Jaya Rutgard and Nathan Glyde. 

Meditation has been incredibly helpful to me on many levels, helping me in my daily life as a mum, as a partner and as a co-worker. Meditation has taught me to respond in a more skilful manner rather than to react rashly, to identify recurrent thought patterns that aren‘t always very helpful, and to listen and respond to the signals the brain, the body and the heart are sending amongst themselves. Meditation and the ancient teachings of the buddhist path have also provided a solid ground on which to develop a renewed sensation of connection to Nature, of awe of the beautiful world around us, and of a feeling of connectedness to all beings. I am very grateful to have come across these teachings and I sincerely hope I can pass them onwards – to you perhaps?
