I have been devoted to meditative practices for over 20 years. Only after 11 years of intense practice, isolation, and retreats, encouraged by his mentors, did I start teaching. I have received guidance from revered teachers from the East and the West, and am deeply grateful to my root teacher Adyashanti, from the Zen Soto tradition for the support and direct transmission.

My lectures and classes aim to strip away any dogma or complex ideas about meditation through contemplation and self-inquiry. My sessions are raw, dynamic and often humorous; appealing to both, the seasoned meditator and beginners alike.

I am also a trained traditional yogi and have spent thousands of hours on formal meditation retreats and seclusion.

I am the founder of the largest meditation gathering in Shanghai, called “The Meditation Marathon”, and the founder of SANGHA SHANGHAI, a non profitable organization, running free weekly meditation gatherings in China since 2013. And the Co-founder of AMANEcurated Retreats, hosting master retreats in South East Asia and Oceania.
