The London Mitra convenors have been dreaming up a day when all the London Mitras can come together, get to know one another, practise and explore the Dharma together. And with Brixton having recently (almost!) secured their new centre, we thought it would be especially lovely to gather there.

Our theme for the day will be The first women followers of the Buddha.

Book your place for the Pan-London Day for Women Mitras

The early Buddhist tradition is full of inspiring women who heard the Buddha’s teaching, took it deeply to heart and forged their own paths to awakening. From the Buddha’s foster mother Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī to the many remarkable women whose stories are preserved in the Therīgāthā, we’ll explore the lives, practice and awakening of some of the first women to follow the Buddha.

There will be plenty of time for meditation, exploration, discussion and getting to know other Mitras from across London – as well as time simply to enjoy being together. Come and join us for a day of practice, friendship, inspiration and connection with the wider London Mitra Sangha.
