Our friends at Gaia House are offering a regular gathering for people of colour, held by Antonia Sumbundu. Antonia is a Dharma teacher and mental health specialist. She has been practising meditation for over 35 years and leads meditation retreats, teaches and supports practice groups and Dharma students internationally.
Antonia says “As people of colour, we often find ourselves in the minority within various meditation and dharma contexts. Having the opportunity to come together, to practice together, and to reflect on the teachings and their relevance to our lived experiences is supportive of our lives and practice.”
The sessions include a guided meditation, a short dharma talk and time for sharing and questions in a relaxed and open environment. All levels of meditation experience are welcome.
The next session will take place on Wednesday 26th February from 7.00 – 8.15pm (UK time).

Antonia will also be holding a nourishing daylong online retreat Nurturing Mindfulness, Opening the Heart, and Strengthening Community, dedicated to cultivating mindfulness and compassion and connecting with others who identify as People of Colour (POC) on 25th March 2025.
