Our Story

Welcome to the Dhamma Centre, a place where ancient wisdom meets modern life. We were established in 2019 in Colchester, Essex with a mission to share the teachings of The Buddha and promote the practice of mindfulness to people from all walks of life. Our goal is to help individuals improve their mental wellbeing and find balance in their lives.

At our centre, we offer a variety of courses for people of all levels. From introductory classes to advanced courses, we delve into the traditional Buddhist canonical scriptures and the higher teachings of Abhidhamma, which focus on Buddhist psychology.

We also place a strong emphasis on guiding the young generation along the right path. To this end, we regularly host dhamma classes, workshops, and forums for children, young adults, and young professionals to empower them with the skills they need to navigate today's fast-paced society.

The benefits of mindfulness-based interventions are well-documented, with a strong and growing evidence base for the prevention and relapse of psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression, and for the management of chronic physical health conditions like pain. At the Dhamma Centre, we use time-tested methods from Buddhism to promote better stress management, work-life balance, and long-term mental and physical health.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our center and the ways in which we can help you improve your mental and physical wellbeing. We look forward to welcoming you to the Dhamma Centre and sharing the teachings of Buddha with you.
