What if we could break out of any thinking...

The Race Conversation with Eugene Ellis and Bodhilila - Live from London, Monday November 21

Wed, 19 Oct, 2022 - 01:42

Reserve your space online

The construct of race is an integral part of Western society’s DNA and if we are to address the social injustice of racism, we need to have the race conversation. Yet all too often, attempts at such a dialogue are met with silence, denial, anger or hate. Eugene Ellis’ wonderful book actively supports anyone striving...

The Heart Sutra is one of the most familiar of all Buddhist texts and, inevitably, there are innumerable takes on ‘what it means’.
