Julia Wallond has been meditating regularly since 2005. She undertook some longer 3-month retreat periods in 2011 and 2012 with the support of Rob Burbea (resident teacher at Gaia house). Just prior to this she trained to teach MBCT with Exeter University and since then has taught over 20 courses in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings. Recently she completed the Bodhi College dharma teacher training programme under the mentorship of Chris Cullen and Jaya Rudgard.
Julia teaches at her local meditation group and assists on longer retreats for the Mindfulness Network and Gaia House. She is a trained supervisor with the Mindfulness Network, and collaborates with Alison Evans to offer a supervisors’ retreat. She works part time as a GP and enjoys gardening and river swimming in Wales.
