Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the Buddha laid out a practical path to a new kind of consciousness. On Dharma Day, we will come together to celebrate the anniversary of the Buddha first communicating his Dharma (‘teachings’) to others after his Enlightenment, sparking off a lineage of teachers and disciples that has transformed many lives, and continues today with us. There will be meditation, talks and a special ritual in the evening. All are welcome.

Taking place on the second Sunday of every month, a chance for people of colour to come together, meditate and reflect on our lives in light of the Buddha’s teachings. All levels of experience welcome.

Chanting mantras can be an enlivening and beautiful practice. Explore how mantra and meditation can support each other, cultivating positive emotion and opening us up to the mystery of Enlightenment.
