Our Story
Christopher and Nshorna are a father-and-daughter team united by a lifelong connection with awareness, meditation and compassionate action.
Nshorna spent her time travelling into her teens. Travels included India for three months as a baby with her parents. She slept in a Moses basket. Before the age of one, she had slept in over 20 different places - from homes, to retreat centres, communities and in tents at festivals.
In the following years, Christopher and Nshorna travelled to three more continents, USA, Australia and mainland Europe. These past experiences nurtured an appreciation of cultural diversity, community life and the value of clarity and insight in daily life.
Growing up, Nshorna heard her father’s Dharma teachings and saw his commitment to meditation, social responsibility and public life. They share a deep appreciation of Thailand’s culture, alongside a view that teachings should be practical, inclusive and relevant to everyday life.
Nshorna spent more than 25 years working in organisations supporting families and vulnerable people. In time, she returned to the teachings she had known since birth, bringing the experience of her own work and life to them.
Today, Christopher and Nshorna teach together. They bring a different generation’s experience to the work.
