Who we are

The Dhamma Centre is a space where people from all walks of life—whether deeply spiritual or simply seeking peace—come to explore the timeless practices of Buddhist meditation and mindful living.

Founded in 2019, we began with a simple yet powerful vision: to make the Buddha’s teachings accessible, practical, and transformative for everyday life. While rooted in the Theravāda Buddhist tradition, our work bridges spiritual insight with contemporary needs—particularly around mental health, emotional resilience, and community well-being.

What We Do

We offer a range of courses, programs, and retreats designed to support the mind, heart, and spirit. These include:

  • Weekly meditation classes (in-person and online)

  • Secular mindfulness programs for stress reduction

  • Vipassanā and Metta retreats focused on inner transformation

  • Workshops on emotional regulation, trauma awareness, and resilience

  • Youth and adult well-being initiatives

  • Collaborations with therapists, educators, and facilitators

All of these are held in a welcoming, inclusive environment. You don’t need to identify as Buddhist to benefit—what we offer is human wisdom, made relevant to today’s challenges.

Our Philosophy

At the core of our work is the belief that Buddhist practices, when applied with care and clarity, can radically support mental wellness. Our approach is grounded in three principles:

1. Wisdom That Heals

We draw from the deep well of Buddhist teachings—not as dogma, but as a source of healing insight. Through meditation, ethical reflection, and compassionate awareness, participants often experience greater calm, reduced anxiety, and deeper self-understanding.

2. Wholeness Over Labels

We work across both traditional and contemporary frameworks, blending canonical Buddhist teachings with evidence-based psychological tools. We regularly collaborate with resource persons from a variety of disciplines—mental health practitioners, educators, body-based facilitators—ensuring our programs are holistic and grounded in real-world outcomes.

3. People Before Philosophy

While our roots are spiritual, our goal is deeply human: to help individuals suffer less and live more fully. Everything we do is directed toward wholesome, positive change—whether it’s someone coping with burnout, navigating grief, or simply seeking a quieter mind.

Why Mental Health Matters to Us

We’ve seen first-hand the power of meditation and Buddhist wisdom to support people through depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, and spiritual crisis. These tools offer something unique: not just relief, but a path to long-term clarity and strength.

While we are not a medical or clinical service, many participants have found that our teachings complement and deepen their personal healing journeys. We see mental health not only as the absence of illness but as the presence of insight, balance, and joy—and we are committed to fostering those qualities in every offering.

A Community of Compassion, Across Generations

We believe that healing doesn’t happen alone. That’s why we place deep emphasis on building a community rooted in kindness, awareness, and mutual care.

  • For young people, we offer programs to build self-awareness and emotional resilience

  • For adults, we offer space to reflect, grow, and re-centre

  • For elders, we provide meaningful spiritual companionship and practices to enrich later life

Everyone is welcome. Everyone matters.

“By their efforts the wise create their own heavens.”
