Meet the teachers of Nowspace meditation

Nowspace meditation is taught by the Ishayas of the Bright Path. We are part of an international group of everyday people who have dedicated their lives to the expansion of consciousness. The teachers in New Zealand and Australia come from diverse backgrounds and have all completed a six-month residential training course in Canada or Spain. 

The Ishayas are known for their simple, experiential approach to spirituality. It is non-religious and conflicts with no belief system. We teach effortless techniques, and are available to those who seek direct experience of the nature of their very own Being. 

As part of our on-going support there is a worldwide network of teachers, courses and retreats available to you. For more information on the Ishayas of the Bright Path visit www.thebrightpath.com 

Nowspace meditation is taught by people just like you. 

Liz Barcas

Teaching Name: Tejas

I am a New Zealander by birth and have been employed in the corporate sector doing administration and management roles throughout New Zealand.

I was introduced to Nowspace meditation by a friend 11 years ago. This was a turning point for me. As I practiced the meditation I began to notice subtle changes in my experience of life; I was more content, more focused and procrastinating less. As a result I was experiencing more peace. 

I have been teaching Nowspace meditation for 7 years now and I regularly travel throughout New Zealand and Australia teaching courses and retreats.

I love seeing the peace and relaxation that people experience right from the beginners weekend course.

Greg Hopkinson

Teaching Name: Mahakala

I grew up on the West Coast of the South Island. I started my career as a mechanical engineer before establishing a number of businesses in New Zealand and overseas. I enjoyed the work but I constantly experienced a lot of stress and suffered from insomnia.

Nowspace meditation has changed my experience of life profoundly. Contentment, peace and a lot of laughs is the norm for me. My time is now dedicated to teaching Nowspace meditation.

Saranya Amanda Tarrant

 am from England and came to live in New Zealand from England in 1995.

My work has always been driven by a desire to help people prevent and manage stress so they can live healthy lives and have great relationships with others.

I learned Nowspace meditation 13 years ago, initially using the technique for rest and relaxation and then found it helping me in many other ways.  I experience a continual joy and daily contentment in my life and I love being able to help others in their journey to health, wellbeing and self realisation.

I have been a teacher of Nowspace meditation for 7 years, I also work as a practitioner for Myers Briggs Personality Profiling, and I am a SHEN Physio-emotional release therapist.

I am a West Australian who has been living in NZ since March 2007 and I now call this beautiful place home.  I have been practicing Nowspace meditation since 1998 and it continues to give me contentment and personal growth that has effects in all aspects of my life.

Along with teaching Nowspace since August 2004 throughout NZ and other parts of the world, I have been working in the recruitment and HR space which allows me to meet many different types of people and engage in a varied and exciting working environment.

Michael O'Brien      

Teaching Name: Sukradeva

 am based in Melbourne and have been teaching Nowspace meditation since 1999. Prior to that, I worked for 17 years or one of Australia's leading banks.

Life was great but I still wasn't internally fulfilled and I started to work on 'me'. It was during this time that I first learned the Nowspace techniques. I noticed an immediate calmness and peacefulness in my self that was so gentle and loving it almost defied description.

I have the desire to share what I have learned and have traveled to many countries teaching the very techniques that had such a profound effect on my own life. During my time teaching in the UK I also developed an interest in Karuna yoga and have now become a teacher of this style of yoga.

Sally Lewis

Teaching Name: Aditi

currently live in Blenheim, after 20 years in business in Wellington. After achieving many things in my life and living a very comfortable existence I found I still wasn't experiencing true inner peace and contentment. I wanted to know what life was all about - who I truly was. Nowspace meditation has given me the techniques to do this.I now experience a rich and fulfilling life and I have found that permanent inner peace and contentment I was searching for, no matter what is happening around me.

I am keen to guide others to an experience of greater peace, contentment and joy.

Jesse (Trevor) Page

Teaching Name: Brahmananda

Originally from Dunedin, Auckland is where I now call home.

After having a successful business, traveling extensively around the world and training as a Life Coach I was still left with the feeling that something was missing from my life. Ultimately, it was this inner knowing that there had to be more to life than what I was experiencing that led me to find Nowspace meditation techniques. Quite simply, they work! I have now found a peace, a joy and a freedom that deep down I always knew existed.

I have now dedicated my life to helping others enjoy these simple and easy to learn techniques and living in the totality of who they really are.
