Doncaster Stories (Film) 2023

We’re very pleased to be showing Doncaster Stories, created by the award-winning documentary film maker and multi media specialist Wayne Sables.

Produced with the support of City of Doncaster Council and Heritage Doncaster in conjunction with the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Doncaster Stories features the faces and voices of more than 20 people sharing their own stories of Doncaster. The project premiered in September 2023, projection mapped onto the imposing facade of the Historic Cusworth Hall.

Art Exhibitions: ‘Transformation’ | Local Artists and Volunteers

Cultural exchanges are the basis for the artwork Transformation undertaken by volunteers at Gomde: Tibetan Buddhism from the East and technical and stylistic forms of image making from the west.

In this venture monochromatic images reflect changes happening to artists whilst at Gomde. Each spectral colour represents an aspect of Buddhist thought which aggregated become a unity representing wisdom.

Paintings and Prints by Martin Taylor and Paul Vernum
We are once again very pleased to show the work of two local artists and volunteers, Martin Taylor and Paul Vernum. Some original paintings and prints are available of these beautiful landscape and abstract works.

Learn about Meditation

“Where does peace come from? Love and compassion. There is no other source” - Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche, Spiritual Director, Gomde UK.

These heartfelt words from our Spiritual Director encourage us to nurture peace in our lives. The Buddha’s method to uncover these peaceful qualities of the mind are study, reflection and meditation. At our open day, you can enjoy our meditation, learn about mediation and Tibetan Buddhism.

The Gomde Mossery

An exciting new venture to create a mossery to propagate our ‘in-house’ sphagnum moss, a major building block of peatland regeneration. The mossery will benefit biodiversity, hold rainwater on the Moors, reduce downstream flood risk and tackle climate change. Find out about the project and how to get involved!

Conservation talk: What's the point of Moss?
