Awareness meditation is like peeling away layers of an onion. What am I peeling away? Delusion from self-created suffering mainly. What is left is the joy, love, compassion and wisdom of coming home to who we really are. The world needs a lot of this.

 

The Stripper is a collaboration with Pema Clark PhD, who devised this one-hour play based on my life, written journals and visual art.  It explores my life journey from being a nightclub stripper in my twenties to meditation training in peeling away layers of delusion in later life. Many layers! It was performed at the University of East Anglia, UK.
