About Me
My name is Michael, and I’ve been practising meditation and studying Zen for a number of years.
Over time, the practice has given my life greater meaning. It’s become central to how I live, and I genuinely value being able to share what I’ve learned with others.
Alongside Zen, I’m an artist and designer. I love making things. My interests include sculpture, pattern, birds, and mythology.
I practise within the Rinzai Zen tradition under the guidance of Julian Daizan Skinner Roshi, founder of Zenways, in the Gyokuryuji lineage. I qualified as a mindfulness meditation teacher with Zenways in 2024 and am currently enrolled in the Junior Zen Teacher Programme, continuing my training.
I love teaching and supporting others as they begin or deepen their own practice.
“I thoroughly enjoyed Mike’s zen ways meditation training. Mike created a warm and relaxed teaching environment. I found the course material accessible and easy to integrate into daily practice. I would recommend this training.’”
