Bringing wisdom into the everyday
A Welsh Buddhist teacher, author and retreat leader based in Swansea. Former NHS mental-health worker. Trained in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
"I'm not here to claim any sort of special status or say 'I'm enlightened, follow me.' I just know that engaging in these Buddhist practices, as well as techniques from Western psychology, has genuinely helped me. It's made me calmer, happier, and kinder, which in turn is better for the people around me. I just want to share that."Read David's story

Read in the reading roomMeditation is not about escaping the world but training ourselves to meet it differently. We do not practice to feel peaceful all the time, we practice to find balance in the midst of life's storms, to respond with clarity rather than react from unhelpful habits.David Oromith
Looking for a speaker?
David works with festivals, conferences & corporate wellbeing programmes.
His talks on stress, burnout, attention and wellbeing are warm, humorous and evidence-informed. They draw on what Buddhist practice and modern psychology can offer a busy, stressed world, without jargon or pretence.
David touched on thoughts and feelings that resonated with many of the listeners. It is a very simple and yet fundamental shift to think we can change from inside. This really makes sense.
