Steven Wanstall

Meditation

Steve has lived locally for 13 years with his wife and two children. He’s also lived for extended periods in Australia and Switzerland. 

He started practising meditation in 2000 after joining the school of meditation in London. This has formed part of his daily routine ever since. During this time, meditation quickly became a passion in Steve’s life where he subsequently spent much of his free time reading books by spiritual teachers and attending weekly group sessions in London. Due to his extensive knowledge on the subject and how this can benefit our daily lives, he decided to take some formal training to enable him to pass meditation on to others. He qualified as an MBCT level 1 teacher in late 2022 and has been delivering sessions to groups at Ingledale since the start of 2023.
