This retreat is designed for a diverse, intergenerational community united by the desire for a better world. We welcome individuals seeking deep connection to Nature, and leaders, negotiators, activists, and youth changemakers looking to bring solutions to the world’s problems by showing up with a peaceful, embodied energy.

BCD offers a monthly gathering for those who want to engage in mindful reflection and find practical ways to be more involved in making change happen. We get together on the third Wednesday of every month.

It is an opportunity to reflect on how events are landing within us, what it means to us to be engaged Buddhists, and to find meaning through shared presence.

This 11 week live course and community is a journey into kincentric ways of sensing, relating and organising, lived in and through your own life and the more-than-human communities you are part of.

​Please join us for a special evening with Brother Phap Luu, visiting from Deer Park Monastery, part of the Plum Village community, established by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Brother Phap Luu will be leading a meditation and talking about earth advocacy, wellbeing, and building connection in these times.

In this program with Dr. Melanie Harris, Joshuah Brian Campbell we will explore the Social Protest songs of the Civil Rights Movement, songs of suffering, joy, and liberation, as dharma gates.

Hosted by Lama Willa and Deborah Eden Tull, these gatherings invite us to experience Dharma not as fixed doctrine, but as a living, relational field—one that emerges spontaneously through authentic dialogue and shared presence. Guests for this series include Kazu Haga, Susie Harrington, Kritee Kanko, Adam Lobel, Thanissara, and Karen Waconda-Lewis, with additional guests to be announced. You only need to register once to access the full year of monthly Dharma Dialogues and you may join at any point during the series.

Together, we will tap into the natural stillness and dynamism that surrounds us and teaches us balance. As we integrate stillness and movement, we move toward being active participants in the world while maintaining balance and ease in our hearts and minds.

Climate circle is a space to connect with our emotional responses to the climate and ecological crises, and related political and social crisis and to be alongside others and be resourced. hristine and Nick are members of XR Buddhists and offer on-going monthly climate circles. Christine is a Triaratna Earth Sangha local convener for the North Wales Buddhist group and is a retired psychotherapist and trainer of psychotherapists. Nick practises Tibetan Buddhism and has integrated Buddhism, meditation and activism for the last six years.

Is the climate crisis also a crisis of modern men? And how can we give rise to new forms of masculinity oriented towards planetary health? Join Amy Westervelt, Indra Adnan, Cadell Last, Matthew Green, and Jacob Kishere to explore the new perspectives that can emerge when we explore familiar global dilemmas through the lens of masculinity.
