dido dunlop
Dido has trained in Tibetan Buddhism for thirty years. She loves exploring creative new ways of working with the ancient meditation forms, towards a natural spirituality that modern westerners can access. Dido draws out the feminine in Buddhism, and relates it to her work with women. She also draws on Greek and other mythology. She links these with our present environmental concerns. She spends a lot of time in nature, and is dedicated to environmental sustainability.
Painter, writer, potter, singer, dancer, she has worked as an art therapist, and run a wide range of groups in meditation, women's development, and creative arts for personal growth. She has two degrees from Oxford, in classical literature and philosophy, and fine art.
Dido is writing a book on women's meditation and the feminine. She has had a long illness, due to environmental poisoning. This has been like semi retreat. She is now emerging, to do more teaching. She is based in Wellington, New Zealand, and travels widely.
Her teachers are from both the West and the East: Namgyal Rinpoché, Tarchin Hearn, Cecilie Kwiat, Catherine Rathbun, Nagaboshi Tomio, Chimie Rigdzin Rinpoche, Kenpo Tsultrim Gyatso, Lopon Tenzin Namdak and Adzom Rinpoché.
