Based in Aotearoa, New Zealand, Nadav’s early practice of meditation began in India more than three decades ago with Goenka Vipassana and later in Tibetan Buddhism and the Insight Meditation tradition. His practice is also nourished by Insight Dialogue, an interpersonal meditation process he loves, which can provide profound insights achievable only in the interpersonal space.
“I experience my personal journey on this path, mindfulness teaching, and the therapeutic work with my clients as key missions I have in my life. I find that these aspects of my life deeply inform and influence one another and are very much interconnected”
Professionally, Nadav is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, Accredited EMDR Practitioner, and Certified IFS Therapist, with in-depth knowledge of several therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic and Existential psychotherapies. As the Co-Director of the Mindfulness Training Institute: Australia & New Zealand, Nadav supports emerging mindfulness teachers from both countries in delivering teacher training and providing supervision.
