Jaya Rudgard
Jaya Rudgard began her dharma practice in the 1980s and lived for eight years as a nun with Ajahn Sumedho in the Thai Forest Tradition in the UK. She later trained with Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield and other senior teachers at Insight Meditation Society (IMS) and Spirit Rock in the US.
Based in the UK, she has been leading retreats internationally since 2014, including regularly for Gaia House in Devon, IMS, and Bodhi College. Jaya’s teachings are rooted in the early Buddhist teaching of the Pali canon, making this accessible and relevant to our experience today. She has also trained and taught contemporary mindfulness approaches.
Jaya also teaches qigong and delights in bringing the practices of qigong and insight meditation together.
