Gurnam (he/him) has been practising meditation and exploring the Buddha’s teachings for over 20 years within the Triratna Buddhist Community. Gurnam regularly supports and teaches meditation and Buddhism for the Croydon Buddhist Centre, the Croydon people of colour group, and on LGBTQ+ days and retreats at the London Buddhist Centre and other contexts.

Gurnam is particularly inspired by the natural world, the wisdom of the body, and the transformative power of the Dharma. He is passionate about exploring the intersection of Dharma and social justice, especially how the Buddha’s teachings can serve those who experience marginalisation. Alongside his spiritual practice, Gurnam finds nourishment in the work of creatives, activists and practitioners such as Audre Lorde, Mary Oliver and Lama Rod, and in the embodied practices of writing, drumming, and walking.
