Shindо? is a Buddhist conversation partner who invites you to talk about anything, big or small. He will listen to concerns about relationships, existential issues, grief, anxiety or whatever else is on your mind.
Shindо? works at the University's open dialogue center and represents the Buddhist Society of Norway. Both non-Buddhists and Buddhists are welcome to get in touch. The service is free, and the conversations are confidential.
You can also contact Shindо? if you want to learn to meditate or if you wish to participate in meditation gatherings on campus.
Shindō is ordained in the Rinzai Zen tradition of Mahayana Buddhism and has served in various roles at the Oslo Rinzai Zen Center for the past decade. He is a trained art therapist and originally hails from Minnesota, but has lived in Norway for almost 20 years. He speaks fluent English and Norwegian, and is not bad at Norwegian sign language either.
