At the Sri Chinmoy Centre, we feel that inner peace, personal growth, and community spirit are best nurtured through shared experiences and meaningful gatherings. Our special events are designed to offer you the opportunity to explore these qualities in a supportive and uplifting environment.
I must explain to you how all this works
1. Meditation Workshops
Discover the transformative power of meditation through our guided workshops. Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, our sessions provide practical techniques to help you access inner peace, clarity, and joy.
2. Peace Concerts
Experience the healing power of music with our Peace Concerts, inspired by the teachings of Sri Chinmoy. These concerts feature soulful performances by musicians who express inner peace and harmony through their art.
3. Joyful Running Events
Sri Chinmoy advocated for physical fitness as a path to inner peace and joy. Join us for our Joyful Running Events, where you can challenge yourself, meet new friends, and celebrate the joy of movement.

Our special events are more than just activities—they are opportunities for you to deepen your spiritual journey, connect with like-minded individuals, and contribute to an international community committed to peace and self-discovery. Each event is infused with the teachings of Sri Chinmoy, whose philosophy emphasises the importance of both inner and outer progress.
How to Register
Registration for all events is open to the public, and most events are free of charge.
Join Us
We warmly invite you to participate in our special events and become a part of our growing community. Together, we can create a world filled with peace, love, and joy.
Unless and until we have peace deep within us, we can never hope to have peace in the outer world. You and I create the world by the vibrations that we offer to it. If we can invoke peace and then offer it to somebody else, we will see how peace expands from one to two persons, and gradually to the world at large. Peace will come about in the world from the perfection of individuals. If you have peace, I have peace, he has peace, and she has peace, then automatically universal peace will dawn.
