Come and practice with a community of meditators, whether you're brand new to meditation or looking to deepen an existing practice.
We teach two main meditation practices, the Mindfulness of Breathing and the Metta Bhavana (or cultivation of loving-kindness). These two complementary practices help us to develop awareness, integration, tranquility and positive emotion.
Open to all levels of experience. No need to book, just drop in!

Celebrate Dr Ambedkar and the Great Conversion with us!
In 1956, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, along with hundreds of thousands of followers, converted to Buddhism. This started a Dhamma Revolution, lifting millions of people out of the oppressive caste system and enabling lives of dignity and meaning, free from discrimination.
Join us in celebration and be part of the living force of the Dhamma Revolution that started in India in 1956 and is still gathering momentum today in 2025!
There will be a keynote talk by special guest, Nagabodhi, as part of the day too.

Give, Speak, Act, Live - Building a Better World
Join us for a relaxed day retreat exploring how we can build a more compassionate, connected world — starting right where we are. Inspired by the Saṃgrahavastus, the Buddha’s four ways of bringing people together — generosity, kind speech, beneficial activity, and exemplification — we’ll look at what these timeless principles mean in our lives today.
Come and meet others under 35 who want to grow in kindness, courage, and connection.

Buddhism for the head and the heart
Buddhism offers us an inspiring vision of what it means to be a human being, but it doesn’t stop there. It also gives us ways to transform our emotions - and our life - in the light of this vision.
Using a combination of teaching, discussion, meditation and practical exercises this six-week course will help you deepen your vision, develop more emotional warmth and positivity, and apply the wisdom of Buddhism to all areas of your life.
