Author
David Oromith is a Welsh Buddhist teacher, author, and speaker who turns contemplative psychology into practical tools for managing stress and burnout.
Authorised to teach by Buddhist scholar Dr B. Alan Wallace, David is co-founder of Samadhi, a UK Buddhist wellbeing charity, and author of A Practical Guide to Mindful Living and Calm Mind, Open Heart. He hosts the Samadhi Podcast and has led retreats across the UK, Spain, Gibraltar, and the United States.
David began his career at eighteen in NHS mental health services, an experience that showed him a system stretched too thin to reach the root causes of suffering. His own recovery from severe depression, achieved through meditation and Eastern psychology rather than the system he worked in, now shapes every session he leads.
Audiences leave David's sessions with a clearer understanding of what drives stress and burnout, practical mind-training methods drawn from Tibetan Buddhist psychology that apply directly to modern pressures, and a more grounded relationship with difficult emotions such as anxiety and anger. His sessions draw on both contemplative tradition and current wellbeing research.
David speaks regularly at schools, colleges, universities, and festivals, reaching audiences with no background in meditation as readily as those with years of practice. Book David Oromith for a speaker whose teaching is honest, warm, and immediately applicable.
Topics, sessions and talks
Circumstances rarely determine how life feels; the mind's response to them does. David Oromith brings together Buddhist teaching and Western psychology to examine that response, showing how a shift in perspective can loosen the grip of stress and hardship on daily life. He speaks to both newcomers and long-time meditators, using clear, everyday language. The session gives people a felt sense of choice in how they meet difficulty, alongside habits they can start practising that day.
Pressure builds quietly long before it becomes burnout, and most people miss the early warning signs. David Oromith unpacks what actually happens beneath the surface, tracing stress through to full burnout and identifying where it can still be interrupted. Drawing on Buddhist psychology alongside current wellbeing research, he offers a way of thinking about daily pressure that goes beyond quick fixes. The session leaves people with a clearer view of their own patterns and where to intervene.
A centuries-old Tibetan practice called lojong, or mind training, offers a surprisingly modern answer to everyday friction: the delayed train, the difficult email, the argument that will not leave one's head. David Oromith translates these methods, which overlap closely with cognitive reframing and compassion research, into approaches that fit around a busy week rather than adding to it. Open to complete beginners and long-term practitioners alike, the session leaves people with a steadier way of meeting whatever the day brings.
Anger, anxiety, and sadness often take over before anyone consciously registers them arriving. David Oromith looks at how a moment of awareness can interrupt that pattern, giving people more choice in how they respond rather than being swept along by the feeling. He treats emotional balance as a skill built through practice rather than a trait some people simply have. Combining short teaching segments with guided meditation and open discussion, the session works for both first-timers and regular practitioners.
Most people would never speak to a friend the way they speak to themselves after a mistake. David Oromith examines that gap and what it costs, drawing on Buddhist teaching and contemporary psychology to explain where the inner critic originates and why it persists. Self-compassion, he argues, is a practical skill rather than a soft indulgence, one that changes how setbacks are handled day to day. The session offers a starting point for anyone ready to treat themselves with patience.

David Oromith draws on Tibetan Buddhist lojong practices and Western psychological research to frame each session around a central concept — such as burnout progression or cognitive reframing — then translates that concept into mind-training methods participants can apply within their existing routines.
