Amarasiddhi

Amarasiddhi

Also known as Philip Bonczyk / Philip Coleman

My name is Amarasiddhi. I have been involved with Buddhism and the FWBO since 1992 and was ordained in 1998. After spending 3 years at Windhorse Trading and a further year back at the London Buddhist Centre I lived and worked for five years in Rivendell Retreat Centre in East Sussex . I left over two years ago and moved to Brighton . I now earn my living by leading ceremonies in Brighton, Sussex and the South-East. My main work is funerals - both non-religious and Buddhist but I have also lead other ceremonies e.g. baby-namings and weddings. In case you're wondering about all the alias. I use my mother's maiden name when conducting humanist funerals as my non-order name is Polish and therefore slightly off-putting to some people.
