About us
Our in person Krishnamurti-Inspired Meet-ups are open to everyone and anyone interested. Here, we don’t value prior experience of Krishnamurti or dialogue; it's more about listening, sensitivity, and a serious concern for human life. Our dialogues take place with a sense of honesty, openness, friendship and community.
We have two separate venues:
- Dinner and Krishnamurti Meet-up
- Krishnamurti Inspired Group Dialogue
“So we are going to talk over together like two friends discussing a problem, neither one trying to persuade the other to accept or to discard. And to talk over together, both must listen, and that is going to be our difficulty. Listening is one of the most difficult things to do. We never listen. We are listening to our own thoughts, to our own ideas, to our own concepts, to the ways of how we should or should not behave. We are concerned with our own occupations, with our own problems, with our own sorrows, and we have our own answers and explanations; or we have the explanations and the sayings of another whom we respect or whom we are afraid of – which is the same thing. The act of listening is really one of the most difficult things to do.”

London Krishnamurti Dinner & Dialogue
Dosa World, Off Brick Lane, 46 Hanbury Street, London, GBOur Meetup is open to everyone and anyone interested in self knowledge, self awareness, relationship and discovering a totally new way of living. Here, together over supper, we talk about everyday life topics, in an atmosphere of attentive listening, sensitivity, kindness, openness and friendship.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- This group meets up ONCE A MONTH to talk over and explore topics together; such as Fear, Conditioning, Belief, Desire, Attachment etc...
- The approach for our investigation is inspired by 20th Century (non religious/ non political) revolutionary thinker, J Krishnamurti.
- The atmosphere for our dialogue is relaxed, openminded, serious, compassionate, fun and friendly.
- We learn through direct observation, self discovery and careful listening to each other, rather than through already acquired experience or knowledge.
WHO'S IT FOR
- Those wishing to explore deeper issues of everyday life and relationship, in a non therapeutic, non religious but friendly atmosphere.
- Those interested in the thinking of J. Krishnamurti, but this is NOT a prerequisite.
- Those interested in meeting new like-minded friends.
- Those feeling stuck, at a crossroads, or wishing to delve deeper.
- All nationalities, cultures and backgrounds welcome.
- All ages & diversity welcome.
WHAT HAPPENS AT THE MEETUP
- Our sessions won’t have any fixed theme; we will spontaneously raise a topic at the restaurant. Sometimes we may wish to investigate further into a topic: we can suggest a short K video that we can all view prior to the following weekly session together.
- The mood is challenging but non-confrontational, investigative but non-intellectual, contemplative but non-religious and especially serious but also good fun!
NO FEES OR DUES
- We pay for our own meal at the restaurant
- There is no charge for the organisation
- You can donate to OPEN DOOR if you appreciate this initiative.

Krishnamurti Inspired Sunday Dialogue
KSD Tibetan Buddhist Centre, 15 Spa Road, SE16 3SA, London, GBHere we meet up in a beautiful quiet room at the Tibetan Buddhist Centre in London.
Together we shall be exploring some of the themes that Krishnamurti is proposing but, more importantly, that we ourselves are facing in our everyday life. Krishnamurti is communicating what he sees about human conditioning and the lack or freedom and love that dominates existence. Our inquiry is to see this conditioning for ourselves and to see if it brings fundamental change.
Dialogue Dates For 2026- Sunday 22nd November
- Sunday 13th December
The Dialogue
As we sit together and exchange on these unresolved topics of life, we will be confronted with the living limitations of our conditioned relationships in the group. What is real listening to each other or is my listening and attention already conditioned?
Refreshments
Do come early and have a cup of tea with friends here at the Tibetan Buddhist Cafe on the premises.
Contribution Price for the Dialogue
There will be a donation of £10 per dialogue per person to cover the hiring of the room, thank you
