--------------- ABOUT ---------------
My name is Tom Glendinning, I am based in Box, nr. Bath, UK. My practice background is both secular and Buddhist, my ~20 year studies of wisdom teachings have spanned multiple schools and traditions. I find 'appropriateness of response' of highest concern when considering what practice may be helpful for someone.
My role is to occupy the liminal space between defined disciplines, a threshold from where I can guide people to new ideas and opportunities. With a breadth of experience I work as an unaffiliated Pathfinder.
