Consciousness & contemplative science
My interest in human understanding extends to consciousness, contemplative science, and first-person experience. I teach meditation and collaborate on research connecting subjective reports with language, behaviour, and neurophysiological signals.
Practice & Teaching

A human development initiative grounded in truth-seeking and the reduction of suffering. We teach pragmatic meditation methods and explore how careful first-person observation can contribute to human development and the scientific study of experience.
