Channel: One Mindful Breath
Date: 2018-07-18

On 18 July 2018, One Mindful Breath welcomed Jonathan Wood to give a talk on desire, craving and the Buddha’s four tasks. Jonathan started meditating in the mid-’80s, when he was studying psychology in the USA. At that time, his practice was TM, in which a person concentrates on the repetition of a mantra.

Around the year 2000, living in Wellington, he discovered the dharma. Jonathan became a member of the secular insight meditation sangha but in 2011 he moved to Brisbane with his family.

Currently, he lives in Brisbane with his wife and their two children and works for Children’s Health Queensland, managing a programme which aims to reduce the impact of middle ear disease on aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids. Jonathan has a regular meditation practice and teaches intro to mindfulness courses for Mindfulness Works.
