Cultivating awareness in action with Kasia Murfet
I work charities, social enterprises, and community-led initiatives, offering bespoke workshops that support reflective, embodied and relational approaches to collective care and change.

What do I offer?
from individual regulation to collective restoration
BUDDHIST MEDITATION AND QIGONG
My work weaves together Qigong, Engaged Buddhism, and Somatics. In my workshops, participants explore the relationship between inner cultivation, collective wellbeing, and compassionate action in a time of planetary crisis.
Through intentional movement, breath awareness, and contemplative inquiry, I guide participants into a felt sense of interconnectedness with all living beings. This work is rooted in the understanding that restoration and regulation are not individual pursuits, but collective processes that ripple outward into our communities.

FOCUS + FLOW MENTORING
Mentoring sessions for those who are ready to meet themselves more honestly in their process — and move forward with intention. This is a focused, supportive conversation where we gently unpack what’s present, and explore how honour your own creative rhythm.
BUDDHISM 101
Guided exploration, study, and accountability across Buddhist practices to support your practice, help you integrate Dharma into your daily life and cultivate and compassion to support both yourself and the collective.
COMMUNITY TEA SESSIONS
I love the simplicity of the tea. I love how everything else pauses when you hold a cup of tea in your hands. I love how tea brings people together. Over the years I’ve belonged to many communities — photographers, Buddhists, body-movers — but nothing has brought me more joy than making tea friends.
My name is Kasia Murfet. I work as a socially engaged facilitator integrating somatic practices and contemplative traditions to support collective and ecological wellbeing. I hold an MA in Buddhist Studies from the University of South Wales, where my research explored if Zen can be really expressed through the arts.
My work draws on practices that cultivate presence, attention, and relational awareness, translating them into spaces for reflection, connection, and action.
I facilitate bespoke workshops for groups working in service of community and planetary care, and collaborate with charities, organisations, and B Corps.
I offer trauma-informed, queer-affirming spaces grounded in care, accessibility, and respect.
Context + Lineages
01
Qigong
Five Element cycles include both generating and restraining—growth must be balanced.
02
Engaged Buddhism
Buddhism’s ethics (non-harming, compassion) naturally limit exploitation.
03
Deep Ecology
Deep Ecology emphasises regenerative systems over extractive ones.
All three point toward a way of being where inner awareness, ethical action, and ecological relationship are not separate domains but one continuous practice.
What People Are Saying
-
“Kasia created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved. As creative director of The Active Looking Project I particularly appreciated the way they guided participants through both seated and standing activities as a standard baseline offer without fuss. Kasia’s sensitivity in sharing their lived experience of long‑term health conditions added depth and authenticity to the session and the feedback afterwards was excellent. Their thoughtful, responsive facilitation made the whole experience extremely positive. Highly recommended and a big thumbs up from Make it Better (mitber) CIC

"Kasia provided an incredible 1:1 coaching session where we started with a beautiful meditation and then tapped directly into all the murky creative thoughts and feelings I had been trying to make sense of. They provided both a practical approach to help me begin some new personal projects and also asked so many meaningful questions that prompted unexpected and interesting answers and ideas. Kasia's 1:1 sessions are a relaxing and fulfilling experience and definitely helped me get back in touch with my creative intuition."

"I had 1:1 Qigong sessions with Kasia, and they were truly transformative. Their knowledge, care, and affirming nature created a supportive environment that was both mind and heart-opening. These sessions were an amazing tool for my health, my disregulated nervous system, and, unbeknownst to me at the time, have become an amazing channel for my creative practice. Qigong feels like an understated practice. As a neurospicy girl with ADHD, meditation with these subtle movements gifted me the chance to practice mindfulness. Highly recommended for all ages, abilities, and goals."
— Emilie W, 1:1 Qigong
