Vajradevi

Vajradevi started meditating in 1985 at the London Buddhist Centre and has been ordained for 31 years. She has been practising and teaching mindfulness with a strong insight dimension for over 25 years. To further her practice, she has studied with specialists on Satipatthana on long retreats in Burma and the US.

Before starting to teach she worked in Right Livelihood businesses in the UK. Between 2000-2007 she fundraised and oversaw the renovation of Akashavana, our women’s ordination retreat centre in Spain.

She is the author of ‘Uncontrived Mindfulness: ending suffering through attention, curiosity and wisdom’ published in 2021 by Windhorse Publications.

Vajradevi lives with her husband in Shrewsbury, UK just along the road from the Buddhist Centre there.
