About
DurgaMata Chaudhuri grew up in the Quaker branch of Christianity. Her husband is Indian and positive encounters with many different communities inspired her to train as a specialist RE teacher. Having retired after many happy years of teaching, DurgaMata trained as an accredited Mindfulness Teacher and combines powerful and effective strategies in workshops which reduce stress, build resilience and increase the quality of life for all ages. She offers workshops for staff and students which make a great contribution to Wellbeing Days. DurgaMata created her Wellbeing and Empowerment Programme 'The Seven Steps to Happiness' before the pandemic, and has now moved that online. Since the war started in Ukraine she has been giving monthly workshops free for refugees and set up the Community Interest Company Ultimate Stress Solutions. See www.ultimatestresssolutions.
