Jay began his meditation journey in 2016 where he started attending secular and Buddhist retreats which transformed his life for the better. He has been an attendee of the Bodhicharya meditation groups since 2017, and has taken refuge with Ringu Tulku Rinpoche. He regularly attends retreats to further and deepen his practice and has been lucky to attend teachings from various teachers both within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and outside.

Jay has trained with the Mindfulness Association to teach the Mindfulness Based Living Course. He has run MBLC courses and also provides drop-in Mindfulness sessions to charities and organisations.
