People of Colour

People of Colour

Our people of colour spaces are an opportunity for all people of African, Asian and mixed heritage to come together for meditation, practice and community. Led by people of colour, for people of colour.  


We offer both online and in person events, from introductory sessions to practice days and residential retreats.  


Join us on the second Sunday of each month from 10am till 11.30am for our online sessions. Led by our People of Colour team, we meditate, explore Buddhist teachings and discuss ways how we can apply these in our lives.


You can contact the team on: racialdiversity@triratnadevelopment.org

21 Day Meditation Challenge

Despite our everyday preoccupations and hang-ups, if we look deeply, we’ll discover a world of inner richness we can get in touch with – one that leads to an infinitely more expansive, liberated life. Over 21 days, we’ll be intensively exploring the mind in meditation, uncovering a vision of reality, and co-creating an inspirational community.
