Martin Aylward

Martin Aylward returns to the podcast to speak with us about Worldwide Insight.

What if you had access to world class teachers, from the convenience of your own home? We’re seeing more and more the use of digital technology to bring people together to learn, practice, and develop communities base on commonality of aspiration, rather than necessity of location. Today’s podcasts focuses on one such online offering, and the wonderful variety of teachers participating.

After strong intimations of the spiritual as a teenager, Martin Aylward travelled to India aged 19 to explore meditation. He spent most of the next 5 years in monasteries, ashrams and meditation centres in India and Thailand, including two years in a hermitage in the Himalayas with one of his teachers. Returning to Europe, in 1995 he co-founded with his wife Gail, the Tapovan Dharma Community in the French Pyrenees. Gradually, the number of visitors increased beyond the capacity of the place, and in 2005 – 10 years after opening – they relocated to Le Moulin, a former Zen monastery in South West France, where Martin and Gail continue to live with their two children.
