A strong community of wise friends can be a huge support to our meditation practice. As such I am passionate about building community, especially in the west, in a way that is resonant with western culture.
Below are some ways in which you can get involved with our growing community of dedicated meditators. For regular updates on community activities, including Dhamma talks, group sittings, group meditation interviews, online gatherings and in-person events, I welcome you to subscribe to my newsletter. I would also love to hear your ideas about how we can best support each other, so do feel free to be in touch with your ideas.

These online group interview sessions not only offer you the opportunity to ask me your usual questions, but also the opportunity to listen and learn from the questions and experience of others. During my ten years of monastic training, group interviews were the only form in which I received instruction from my teachers. I found it to be a hugely valuable way of learning, and of deepening my sense of community.
