Peter trained as a Buddhist monk in the Thai Forest tradition for seven years, and lived in a monastic practice environment for most of his twenties. Upon returning to lay life he was invited to teach in Wellington by New Zealand meditation teacher Stephen Archer, and was one of the founders of Original Nature Meditation Centre in 2009.
He finds a lot of joy in exploring ways of translating the early Buddhist teachings in an urban, lay context, and supporting others in the practice of awakening. As well as his influences in the Buddhist tradition, his current interests include the teachings of A.H Almaas and also the Somatic Experiencing work of Peter Levine.
Peter enjoys teaching in group settings, as well as on a one-to-one basis. He is now offering skype sessions in addition to his work with Original Nature in Wellington, NZ.
