Practice Groups

Within Buddhism, a community that gathers to meditate, to share their joys and difficulties, and to encourage each other on the path, is traditionally called a sangha.

We also recognise the wisdom and need of being in safe spaces for affinity communities. These sanghas have become increasingly more accessible as many of these groups meet online. 

Our current affinity sanghas include:

– Colours of Compassion Sangha for People of Colour / Black Asian Minority Ethnic / Mixed Racial Heritages

– Rainbow Sangha UK for those who self-identify as LGBTQIA+

– White Awareness Sangha for members who have been socialised as or who identify as ‘white’

 – Family Sangha for all ages, with special programmes for children and teens

 – Wake Up which is group of sanghas for those aged 18 – 35

 – Neurodiversity Sangha for those with PTSD, ADHD and neurodiversity-related conditions

Being volunteer-run, there will be a variety of styles and formats, while all our groups have Plum Village practice at their heart.
