Marion Miller

Marion Miller is a mindfulness teacher, coach, ecotherapist, artist and writer based between Melbourne and the Surf Coast. Her work brings together five streams: coaching psychology, depth psychology, somatic mindfulness (MBSR and the Insight Meditation tradition), ecotherapy and The Work That Reconnects. She has spent over two decades guiding individuals, leaders and change-makers across Australia toward grounded presence, ethical clarity and life-affirming leadership.

She was born in remote Tasmania and spent her earliest years on the land. Her mother introduced her to meditation at twenty, and decades of silent retreats later she trained as a Dharma teacher in the Insight tradition under the mentorship of Subhana Barzaghi. She also trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and she came to counselling and coaching as a mature-age student before specialising in ecotherapy. Her years as an EAP counsellor, and thousands of hours of coaching and workshops, including a 12-month WorkSafe-funded mindfulness program in educational leadership across Victoria, led her to look beyond individual distress to the systems that harm both people and the planet.

Today she offers one-to-one conscious leadership coaching from her Glen Iris studio and online, along with the Earth Stewards nature-based leadership and mindfulness course, and Earth Circle, a day-long ecotherapy retreat shaped by seasonal themes. She also holds a women's circle in Glen Iris for women exploring nature, creativity and spirituality, which has gathered for more than five years. Her weekly nature meditations are offered live online through Insight Timer.

Marion is an active studio artist in Glen Iris and custodian of The Eco Retreat, a 70-acre land-based sanctuary, organic farm and regenerative landcare project. She also hosts Earth Conversations, a video series of reflective dialogues where environmental renewal, conscious leadership and human well-being meet. Guests include leaders, creatives, First Nations custodians and grassroots practitioners.
