About the presenter: Br. Tenzin (Dr. Alex Anderson) began with an ecologist’s understanding of interdependence, but the rainforest soon led him to Buddhist meditation.  Now ordained as a monk in the Sakya Tibetan tradition, he has also studied and practiced meditation under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh at Plum Village in France, at Mountain Spring Monastery in The Blue Mountains Near Sydney, and at Pa Auk Tawya in the Burmese Forest tradition.  Guided by his main teacher Bhante Dhammadipa (https://www.dhammadipa.cz/en/) his approach is informed by Theravadin, Zen, and Vajrayana methods of meditation and mindfulness, as well as Hatha Yoga, Deep Ecology, and his deep love of wild places.  He can be found working with https://www.yatra.org.au to create opportunities for the practice of sacred journeying, and lives on Gumbayngirr country on the Dorrigo Plateau, where he has a project to co-create community space for meditation and nature connection: http://www.gaiaforest.org.
