FREE Weekly Community Meditation: Friday Lunchtime

Deb Roberts grew out of a deep longing to share lived experience in various capacities through yoga, meditation, speaking and writing services to individuals, groups and corporates.  Deb has had a lifelong relationship with mental (ill) health yet been able to navigate a fulfilling existence through various means.

She has had two family members who have ended their life seeing no treatment pathway forward. One was her older sister who had tried countless medicine combinations, therapies and facilities over 30 years. Deb’s pathway is to continue a life worth living and advocate for treatment options including the use of psychedelics.

Scott has had a diverse career, working across a variety of fields. After originally training and working as a professional musician, he founded and bootstrapped a successful online music education company called Ear Training HQ at age 23. Ear Training HQ taught an innovative approach to skill development that he developed. He successfully taught this to thousands of students over 10 years. He has committed much of the last 10 years to introspective practice, with a central focus on Buddhist teachings. During this time he has trained and worked as a bodyworker, somatic therapist and meditation teacher.

Through his introspective practice and his somatic work, he has developed a deep interest in psychedelic and other altered state based therapies and the connection between these therapeutic approaches and the introspective process. Through the emergence of psychedelic-assisted therapies, he sees an opportunity for a deeper understanding of introspective practice emerge in our culture, with the potential to support greater happiness and wellbeing for all.

Julia is a digital marketer and somatic and arts therapist with over nine years of experience supporting entrepreneurs in the health and well-being sector through content creation and design.

She is also a student of Hakomi therapy, deeply curious about the intersection of psychedelic medicine, ancient Buddhist meditation practices, and the creative arts. Guided by a fascination with the healing potential of altered states of consciousness, Julia is passionate about how these modalities can transform individual and collective well-being.

Megan started meditating a bit over 30 years ago and has had an amazing journey out of anxiety and poor mental health into accidentally exploring the mystical, but the main thing she has learned across all the different traditions that she’s tried is that the most important thing is to Do It. Not read about it or talk about it, but to actually show up and do it. She’s passionate about meditation and the container it builds for us to enjoy greater ease and confidence in our self and our capacity. In her work as a Clinical Psychologist and supervisor, she so often uses the fundamental skills of mindfulness and meditation to work with clients experiencing grief, loss, trauma or even the basics of depression and anxiety. She is a mother, an educator and a therapist and within all these roles has, at the core, her practice of meditation.
