COLLECTIVE BREATH
ONLINE SANGHA
DEEPEN YOUR BUDDHIST + QIGONG PRACTICE, AND CONNECT WITH LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE
with a Buddhist Meditation teacher and Qigong facilitator Kasia Murfet
/ COLLECTIVE BREATH /
Online Sangha
On the first Tuesday of each month we gather online at 7pm UK time to practice together. This meeting will include a short talk, a guided Buddhist meditation practice, and time for reflection.
For the rest of the month, every Tuesday, I will share prompts, suggested readings, and recorded practices via the Chat.
I’ve always hoped that Collective Breath would be shaped by the needs of the community. Your reflections and contributions are what make this space meaningful. I hope that by using the Chat more intentionally, we’ll create a more interactive container. After all, what truly makes this collective is all of us together.
This also means that the subscription price will be reduced, which I hope will make this offering more accessible.
Each month we’ll explore a theme—and for January, our focus will be Metta.

“Kasia has such a calming, genuine, and enthusiastic energy, which is really lovely to be around. I felt grateful to have found them and to be able to learn from their unique knowledge. Collective Breath felt different to any other breathwork group I had previously joined — somehow gentler and more grounding. A wonderful journey!”

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.
