Practical, grounded, down to earth
David draws from the Buddha's teachings woven together with insights from Western psychology and neuroscience. The aim is always to make ancient wisdom useful in everyday life.
No jargon, no esotericism, just honest, grounded practice. Clear explanations, real conversation, and techniques you can actually use. David was authorised to teach by his root teacher Lama B. Alan Wallace and has been leading meditation and study for over a decade.
