Beth Upton

I’m Beth Upton, and I teach meditation. I have a lifelong interest in truth, consciousness, and advanced meditation practice. I spent ten years as a monastic in the Burmese Theravada tradition, training under the guidance of Pa Auk Sayadaw, and have been fortunate enough to enjoy several long solitary retreats in caves and forests around the world.

Since disrobing in 2018, I have been teaching meditation internationally with an emphasis on the more advanced end of the practice. I enjoy working with students one on one to help them take their next steps towards the rare and amazing states that deep meditation has to offer. Understanding the need for deep practice to be held in community, I also spent several years leading Sanditthika Meditation Community in the caves of Almeria, Spain – a community that is now in transition to a more permanent home in nearby Granada.
