Jess Huon
Ancient Roots I Modern Voice
Jess Huon has been engaged in meditative and embodiment practices since the age of seventeen. She has trained in traditional Buddhist monastic settings, in inter-faith contexts of meditative inquiry, and also within long periods of solitary forest practice. This training has taken place in India, Australia, Spain, and the USA. In 2009 Jess was awarded a scholarship to study Buddhist texts at Spirit Rock, near San Francisco. She holds a bachelor of Creative Arts (VCA), and a post graduate degree in Therapeutic Arts practice (RMIT). Jess brings traditional teaching alive in a fresh, feminine, and transformative manner. A natural orator, her talks have been described as “street language for the soul.” Whilst deeply informed but not bound by tradition, her style is grounded in contemporary life.
