Molly Swan has been engaging in spiritual inquiry and Dhamma (Sanskrit: Dharma) practice since 1985, both in Asia and the West, primarily with teachers in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, but also in the traditions of Korean Zen and Advaita Vedanta (the non-dual). A profound teaching for Molly has also been stretches of time living without a homebase, with its almost daily challenge of opening to not-knowing. Another part of Molly's practice has been supporting others in accessing the precious gift of Dhamma. She was a manager at Gaia House Retreat Centre in England in 1987, and has organized and managed retreats for many years in India and Canada. Since 1997 Molly has been teaching Insight Meditation retreats internationally, as well as offering support to individuals and Dhamma groups in Ontario.

Molly's background includes B.F.A. and M.A. degrees in art and teaching, as well as a diploma in Homeopathy. She often weaves the modalities of the Dhamma and creativity together in support of opening to the fullness of life. Molly and her husband Norman Feldman are home- (and garden-) based in Guelph, Ontario.
