Rupert Marques
Rupert has practiced in the Insight Meditation tradition for over 30 years in Europe, America, and Asia. He also guides wilderness rites of passage and his teaching emphasizes the role of the more-than-human world in understanding our belonging.
Rupert teaches at various retreat centers in Europe and beyond and for three years lived and worked at Ecodharma, a contemplative retreat community in the Spanish Pyrenees dedicated to exploring the role of the Dharma in the movements for social justice and ecological sustainability.
A guiding question for him is how to contribute to our times in a manner that makes full use of the unique gift of our lives, so that when we come to die, we become good ancestors to those who come after us.
