This is a gathering for people practicing the dharma, at any stage of that journey and experience and who also come from the richly diverse lived experiences of these intentionally welcomed identities: Black, Indigenous, and people of color inclusive of Asian/Pacific Islander, South East Asian, Native Hawaiian, Latinx, Arab/Middle Eastern, biracial, mixed heritage, multiracial, and any others identifying as non-white.
What is the space?
A monthly welcoming two-hour on-line international and intentional Triratna community space for:
- Authentic connection and co-creating culturally diverse community (sangha)
- Deepening dharma practice through meditation, reflection and real conversations
- To practice welcoming, empathy, healing, wholeness, complexity, liberation and joy
- Learning from each other and with a variety of BIPOC/BAME Triratna order members and community members
- Making more possible genuine connection with the Triratna Buddhist community in this space, and beyond
We celebrate the multiplicity of “BIPOC/BAME” spaces in Triratna being offered by different Buddhist Centers. We hope many from those spaces will also benefit from this distinctly international space and that those looking for a space can find a home here

Anyone can make a donation to resource this space and the programming.
We know many in the Triratna community, who in racialized societies live as a white identity, are supportive of the people the space is for, even though you do not walk in the shoes of racialized discrimination directly. What is the invitation to you? You are welcome to give us the gift of well-wishing and understanding the need for this kind of space to create room to breathe and be together. You may also make a solidarity donation to assist with the practical costs of this gathering.
