Rob Preece

Rob Preece met both the work of C.G. Jung and Buddhism while at university studying psychology. A period of travel then led him to Nepal where, in 1973, he met his teachers Lama Thubten Yeshe and Lama Zopa Rinpoche.

  In 1976, he helped found a Buddhist centre in the UK for his Tibetan teachers where for four years he studied intensively the foundations of Tibetan Buddhism. In 1980 he returned to India and was in retreat for much of the next five years above Dharamsala. While in India he received teachings and tantric empowerments from H.H. Dalai Lama, Song Rinpoche, Lati Rinpoche and many others. He has also received dzogchen teachings from H.H. Dudjom Rinpoche, then head of the Nyingma tradition.

  In 1986 Rob trained as a Jungian based psychotherapist. Today his one-to-one work focuses on spiritual mentoring, combining his experience of both Eastern and Western approaches. Since 1985 Rob has led meditation retreats in the UK, Europe and the US. His teaching work bridges the Tibetan tantric tradition and Western psychology bringing the Tibetan tradition into contemporary life. He is an experienced thangka painter and a keen gardener and lives in the UK with his wife and two sons.
