Emma giving her Ted x talk entitled ‘Awakening’ at Sevenoaks school Jan 2017:
“A powerful account of personal change, Emma used the framework of the Buddhist and yogic symbol of the development; the lotus flower.
This flower begins its life in the mud at the bottom of a lake and grows upwards towards the light and the surface of the water where its petals open clear and bright.
She describes the events which encouraged her to become a nun and found a charity as an expression of her wish to put her prayers of compassion into action”.
