Socially engaged facilitator and photographer
I teach Buddhism and Qigong to individuals and community-led initiatives. Through reflective, intentional, and relational practices. I support you in cultivation of embodied awareness, collective well-being, and more compassionate ways of engaging with the world.

What do I offer?
from individual regulation to collective restoration
BUDDHIST MEDITATION AND QIGONG
1:1 Support + Group Spaces
My work weaves together Qigong and Engaged Buddhism. You will be invited to explore the relationship between inner cultivation, collective well-being, and compassionate action.
This work is rooted in the understanding that restoration and regulation are not individual pursuits, but collective processes that ripple outward into our communities.
COLLECTIVE BREATH ONLINE SANGHA

COMMUNITY TEA SESSIONS
Free to attend Group Sessions
An informal, hands-on introduction to Gongfu tea. We’ll brew and taste different teas together, try brewing methods, and learn about tea cultures and traditions along the way. There’s no formal classroom setting: just tea, conversation, curiosity and plenty of tasting.

My name is Kasia Murfet. I’m a socially engaged facilitator and photographer integrating intentional practices and contemplative traditions to support wellbeing and curiosity. I hold an MA in Buddhist Studies from the University of South Wales, where my research explored whether Zen can really be expressed through the arts. I’m currently training to become a counsellor (person-centered approach).
My work draws on practices that cultivate presence, attention, and relational awareness, translating them into spaces for reflection, connection, and action.
I offer trauma-informed, queer-affirming spaces grounded in care, accessibility, and respect.
What People Are Saying
-
“Kasia created a welcoming atmosphere for everyone involved. As creative director of The Active Looking Project I particularly appreciated the way they guided participants through both seated and standing activities as a standard baseline offer without fuss. Kasia’s sensitivity in sharing their lived experience of long‑term health conditions added depth and authenticity to the session and the feedback afterwards was excellent. Their thoughtful, responsive facilitation made the whole experience extremely positive. Highly recommended and a big thumbs up from Make it Better (mitber) CIC

"Kasia provided an incredible 1:1 coaching session where we started with a beautiful meditation and then tapped directly into all the murky creative thoughts and feelings I had been trying to make sense of. They provided both a practical approach to help me begin some new personal projects and also asked so many meaningful questions that prompted unexpected and interesting answers and ideas. Kasia's 1:1 sessions are a relaxing and fulfilling experience and definitely helped me get back in touch with my creative intuition."

"I had 1:1 Qigong sessions with Kasia, and they were truly transformative. Their knowledge, care, and affirming nature created a supportive environment that was both mind and heart-opening. These sessions were an amazing tool for my health, my disregulated nervous system, and, unbeknownst to me at the time, have become an amazing channel for my creative practice. Qigong feels like an understated practice. As a neurospicy girl with ADHD, meditation with these subtle movements gifted me the chance to practice mindfulness. Highly recommended for all ages, abilities, and goals."
