Elder Seishin Susanne Ledingham
Originally from Tsawwassen, Elder Seishin Susanne Ledingham spent 15 years living overseas and across Canada before moving to Victoria in 2004. Having explored Buddhism and Buddhist groups since being a university student, Seishin began settling into serious Buddhist practice with the Victoria Zen Centre in 2006. Seishin received the precepts (Jukai) in January 2009 and became an Elder July 2009.
Since her return to the West Coast, Seishin has been overjoyed at rediscovering her roots on the Gulf Islands and spends as much time as possible playing with her 3 children, gallivanting around Mayne Island, enjoying family and friends, creating art and doing yoga. Seishin works as an art facilitator and educator as well as creating her own art.
Elder Seishin is the head of the Sangha Sunday team, participates on the Sangha Support team, the Zendo team, the Practice Council, the Dana group, and represents the Zen Centre on the Board of the Victoria Multifaith Society.
