Nolitha Tsengiwe

Nolitha Tsengiwe has been a practicing Buddhist for more than 22 years under the guidance of Kittisaro and Thanissara, who are disciples of Ajahn Chah. Nolitha is a psychologist and an executive coach for individuals and teams. In both roles, her primary task is to create a holding space for people who are in search of truth as a doorway to freedom. She’s a mother to a 22-year-old son and a facilitator for Biodanza—dance and movement therapy. Nolitha is a graduate of the Community Dharma Leaders Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Currently, she is in a four-year Buddhist teacher training program under Joseph Goldstein of Insight Meditation Society (IMS). Nolitha is part of teaching teams for retreats at IMS, the Insight Retreat Center, and Spirit Rock. Her work on power, self-mastery, and wise action can be viewed with Insight Timer, a renowned international meditation app. She is based in Johannesburg, South Africa.
