Mark Westmoquette

I’m an ex-professional astronomer, Zen teacher and dad living in south-east London. Up to having our first child my work has revolved around engendering wonder and awe about the night sky through mindfulness practices. But more recently my I've been drawn to work more with children. Children are natural awe-filled wonderers about the world around them, and I love building on that energy. I've written 3 books on mindful stargazing for adults, and the latest is a children's book about connecting with the universe on an embodied level. My other book is about applying the practice of mindfulness and Zen to dealing with difficult relationships.
