A community of friends

Bodhi College is made up of a community of people, all curious about the relevance and wisdom that the Buddha’s earliest teachings hold for life in the modern day. Every one of us, from teacher, to student, to trustee offers their grain of sand and forms part of the collective as a whole. 

With this in mind, we have developed the Friends scheme, with the aim of both building the closeness of our community and in order to help support the college financially in a more regular and reliable way. This in turn enables us be able to continue exploring, making sense of and drawing on these ancient teachings in the midst of our lives and communities all over the world.

As a charity, this membership gives you the chance to be involved more closely with our work and support us, while at the same time being given access to valuable benefits.

We hope the scheme will help enable us to sustain and expand our work and continue developing our community who share our vision.

Friends can:

  • Attend our community sessions - Sangha Sundays - twice a month for free
  • Access selected self-study courses with our teachers for free, including from co-founders such as Stephen Batchelor, Christina Feldman and Akincano Weber 
  • Form part of a closed community mentoring group, enjoying “Teatime with our Teachers” up to three times a year – a closed online gathering led by a Bodhi College teacher
  • Receive a dedicated letter and report every year with an update on our activities and details of how Friends contributions are making a difference

As a Friend of Bodhi College you will be supporting us to provide our year-round programme of courses – bringing the practices and teachings of the Buddha to the wider world in a way that is relevant and accessible. It’s through the generosity of donors and supporters that we are able to keep our prices low and ensure that our offerings are available to as many people as possible.
