RETREAT FOR MEN OF COLOUR
6-8 March
The Worldly Winds
Led by Manjusiha, Danadhara and friends

‘Gain and loss, fame and disgrace, blame and praise, pleasure and pain. These eight worldly concerns revolve around the world, and the world revolves around these eight worldly concerns.’

Join us for this weekend on ‘the eight worldly winds’. These four pairs of opposing forces can bind us tightly to mundane life. But there is a way out. Through meditation, ceremony and connection, we will explore how to reduce their influence over us, clarifying how we might eventually free ourselves entirely from their power.


The Triratna Buddhist Community offers both online and in person events, from introductory sessions to practice days and residential retreats.  Keep an eye on our What’s On page, and see below for details on regular sessions and retreats.

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.  

You can also sign up to the PoC mailing list here.
