What else goes on here?

Books, Buddhas and Ethical Gifts

The Centre’s spacious ground floor shop is a great place to visit and browse. New stock comes in all the time and almost everything we sell comes from Buddhist right livelihood businesses, other ethical sources, or small local independent businesses. All proceeds go towards the Centre and its activities. No minimum spend on card payments. Our friendly receptionists can advise on what to buy and you are welcome to try out the meditation equipment and singing bowls to get what’s right for you.

We sadly can’t usually offer online or mail order sales, but we sell gift vouchers over the phone when the shop’s open – get in touch!


In the Buddhist Centre Shop . . .

  • Books on Buddhism and meditation, vegetarian cookery, day to day mindfulness and more. We also have books for children and a great second hand section – with fiction and poetry too
  • Meditation equipment – mats, shawls, cushions and meditation beads or malas
  • Buddha statues and singing bowls in many styles, sizes and prices
  • Incense galore – Nag Champa, Morning Star, Tribal Soul, Organic Goodness . . .

Hinterland Sober Bar and Café

Hinterland, the alcohol-free bar, café and tea space in our basement, is a not-for-profit business run by a group of people from our community.

Why a Sober Bar?

We knew that from the start the space had to be fully alcohol – free and ethical, and have worked very hard to create a menu full of delicious drinks that will allow people to connect in a conscious and mindful way. We’ve tried to partner up with local, sustainable, and ethical businesses wherever possible, and we hope you’ll love our drinks as much as we do! One of the main pillars of Hinterland is spiritual friendship – we hope to create conditions where people can connect with other human beings on a deeper, more conscious level.

Come down the green staircase to the left of the main entrance and grab a coffee, tea, cake, or a refreshing alcohol-free drink!

Bodywise Natural Health

Enhancing physical and emotional health

Located on the Buddhist Centre’s second floor, Bodywise practitioners work together in a spirit of generosity, co-operation and compassion. A beautiful studio hosts classes and workshops alongside three treatment rooms.

Yoga

Through the practice of yoga we begin to slow down, re-inhabit our bodies and rediscover the natural rhythm that supports our well being. Bodywise’s yoga teachers are all experienced practitioners, trained in a number of styles.

There are drop-in sessions, bookable courses, weekend workshops and one-to-one sessions. Specialist classes include pregnancy yoga, parents and babies yoga, restorative yoga, as well as Tai Chi / Qi Gong, Pilates, Feldenkrais and other movement practices.
