He became a teacher and chose social work instead of military service. At 21\, he temporarily ordained in India under Acharya Buddharakhita\, adopting the name Bodhidhaja. From 2006\, he practiced and served in various monastic communities\, eventually joining BSWA in Perth in 2010 as an Anagarika\, and receiving full ordination in 2012 under Ajahn Brahm. He remains part of the BSWA monastic community. \n\n\n\nAbout the Retreat:\nThis silent residential retreat consists of walking and sitting meditation practice.
