Balajit
Balajit (he/him) has been leading retreats and events across the UK for around 15 years. For several years, he lived and worked at Vajraloka Retreat Centre in North Wales.
He is currently based in Birmingham, where he mixes Buddhist teaching responsibilities with work as a trauma therapist. He has studied the newly emerging psycho-biological approaches to trauma work- and is qualified in Somatic Experiencing, NARM therapy and SHEN Therapy.
In the past few years, Balajit has been exploring correspondences between these emerging approaches and the canonical Dharma, as aids to becoming more embodied and the arising of the bodhicitta.

Doorways To the Deep
Also With Singhashri
May 8 - 15, 2026
If we dive deep into the sea, where the body is no longer buoyant enough to float nor heavy enough to sink. We remain suspended, hanging in deep blue space, able to move in any direction without friction. This is called the doorway to the deep and it promises to open us to our true nature, our deepest potential when freed from afflictive mental states that bind us to suffering. We can discover a more creative response to life, full of awareness, love and transformation. TRIRATNA RETREAT For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community.
The Calling
Also With Singhashri
December 11 - 13, 2026
In the maelstrom of modern life we can easily lose a sense of what's most important to us - our heart’s longing to be free. On this meditation retreat, learn to listen more deeply to yourself by contacting and abiding in more authentic and meaningful states of being.
These forces are calling. To help us respond to this calling, we will draw on the supportive qualities of the elements, guided personal inquiry, mindful movement, creative ritual and lots of quiet sitting. TRIRATNA RETREAT: For regular meditators who attend retreats, a centre or group in Triratna community.
