Practice and Principles
Alongside group meditation and self-directed retreats, Wild Ivy offers structured meditation check-ins and two 1-on-1 awareness protocols: Mondo Zen and Mandala Method. These protocols draw from Buddhist contemplative traditions while speaking in a language accessible to contemporary practitioners. Rather than focusing on personal transformation alone, they invite direct exploration of awareness itself - pure perception and the ground of wisdom beneath thoughts and emotions.
DIMENSIONS OF PRACTICE
Meditation, awareness training, Zen and Dzogchen practice.
Drawing from Zen and Dzogchen traditions, Wild Ivy supports access to practices for the direct recognition and stabilisation of awareness itself. Through meditation and study, we explore the possibility of meeting experience with clarity, presence, and openness.
"Rest, Recognise, Release."
Integral Embrace
Flourishing, shadow work, developmental inquiry, relational practice.
Awakening is only one dimension of human flourishing. We also engage the work of growing, healing, relating, and making meaning. Integral approaches help illuminate how awareness, purpose, development, shadow, embodiment, and culture interact within a whole life.
"Growing Up and Growing Down"
Voluntary simplicity, stewardship, nature connection, mindful participation.
Practice does not end at the meditation cushion.Caring for land, place, and the legacy of our generation becomes an expression of contemplative life. Through simplicity, stewardship, and participation in living systems, we cultivate caring relationship with the wider web of life.

Facilitator
Joanna Bojczewska (Doyu) is a host and a steward at Wild Ivy House. Her practice is rooted in Zen, Integral Theory, and Dzogchen.
Joanna is trained and authorised to offer a range of Zen practice methods including Mondo Zen which she facilitated at retreats led by Jun Po Roshi and Doshin Roshi. She has received permission to offer the Mandala Method practice at Wild Ivy in-house trainings and 1-on-1 from Lama Tsultrim Allione.
Whilst both protocols, Mondo Zen and Mandala Method, can significantly deepen the sense of healing and wholeness, Joanna offers each primarily as a Wisdom Practice rooted in pure awareness approach. Her approach focuses on the essence of buddhist transmission: the sharing of insightful heartfelt states from a place of openness and not-knowing.
