Emma Pittaway

Emma Pittaway teaches an open “natural awareness” approach that emphasises meditation as a way of being in the world, based on her training in the Burmese lineage of Mahāsī Sayādaw via Shwe Oo Min Sayādaw and his dharma successor, Sayādaw U Tejaniya. Inspired by the Buddha and his followers, who lived and meditated in the forest, she draws on the natural world to support her practice. She is the principal insight teacher at the Kuan Yin Meditation Centre in Lismore, NSW.
