Particular Interests | I’m interested in promoting equality, inclusion, and diversity in all areas of life, including spirituality. This includes creating connections with diverse communities, and advocacy to help remove existing barriers to social and spiritual participation, especially for: women; trans*, non-binary, and gender diverse people; same-sex attracted people; people with disabilities; and people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. |

Particular Focus in Chaplaincy | Spiritual Care means to be deeply present with someone; to listen to their concerns and witness their experience, whilst supporting them to navigate their own spiritual journey. As a Buddhist monk, I am delighted to make connections with the diverse UWS Buddhist communities and help support their practice. As a multi-faith chaplain, I am very happy to be available for all students and staff—whatever faith affinity or background—to be of service in whatever way is needed. |
