Step 2: The Middle Path
You’ll begin deepening your daily practice. Between calls, we’ll stay connected via WhatsApp to discuss your assignments and allow time for reflection.

Step 3: Deepen and Integrate
Together we’ll identify where you’d like to focus your attention, what additional support you may need, and how your practice can extend more fully into your relationships, work, and community.

about the teacher

My name is Kasia Murfet and I’ve been a committed Buddhist practitioner for 10 years. In October 2024 I received Jukai Precepts during a sesshin with Ordinary Mind teacher Malcolm Martin. I hold MA in Buddhist Studies.

After I lost my grandmother; who co-raised me with my mother; I was faced with a profound grief. This is when I came across teachings on Impermanence, anicca, which appears extensively in the Pali Canon which tells us that nothing stays the same and everything is always changing. Touched by these teachings, I decided to commit myself fully to a Buddhist practice.

In 2019 I was diagnosed with PTSD and as a HSP (highly sensitive person). I struggled with severe panic attacks for two years. Thanks to EMDR and Buddhist practice I began to practice self-compassion and accept this new sense of ‘self’. My healing journey began with a question: How can I embrace Not-Knowing?

In 2022 I enrolled for a Master Degree in Buddhist Studies. After 8 years of practicing and attending silent retreats twice a year, I was ready to deepen my understanding. My dissertation research explored whether Zen can really be expressed through Arts.

Throughout my journey I have come to understand the importance of deepening awareness through the process of self-inquiry. As a Buddhist Meditation teacher I care deeply about making sure that all my offerings feel inclusive, compassionate and empowering. I believe that we all want to feel more connected; to ourselves, each other and the world around us. Engaging with Buddhist practices allows space for strengthening the muscle being present, self-compassion and deep listening.
