Sid Liddall

Sid Liddall

Sid has been practicing in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition for 25 years. He works at Dechen Chöling, where he has two main roles of Land Steward and IT supervisor. This mirrors his twofold career path in both computing and horticulture, and is bridged by a deep interest in systems. He is interested in finding the relevance of the contemplative life and Buddhist teachings to the deep problems facing the world. He is enthusiastically exploring our relationship to the beautiful land here, and how it can benefit both those who come here, as well as the wider ecological community.
