Open to all who come from the richly diverse lived experience, people of colour, inclusive of Asian, south east asian, latinx, arab/middle eastern, biracial, mixed heritage, multiracial.
Our people of colour spaces are an opportunity for all of these people to come together for meditation, practice and community.
The Triratna Buddhist Community offers both online and in-person events, from introductory sessions to practice days and residential retreats. Keep tabs on this page - we frequently advertise PoC events both at our local centre and further afield.
SECOND SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH
10 - 11.30AM
LED BY JAYAKA
These sessions are a wonderful way to start your Sunday with a guided meditation and space to chat and connect with what’s alive for you in your practice.
Connect with people of colour in Triratna across the UK. Della, our POC Liaison at Bristol Buddhist Centre, is part of the team which run these events.
You can contact the team on racialdiversity@triratnadevelopment.org
"I have found POC a place where we can support, encourage, and engage in our practice, but also dealing with the ebbs and flow of life which our colour and ethnicity can bring and where you can be honest and safe." - Nina, Nottingham
"I have found this space helpful. A friendly space to help me unfurl my understanding aspects to do with being of mixed heritage. It has provided a space/place of trust to explore these matters." - Anonymous
"Genuine befriending, non-judgmental, empathic listening, safety and trust for a black mixed man to keep coming back to POC, gradually and safely enter the wider sangha." - Oliver, Nottingham
