Doors re-open 15 October 2026.

Have you ever felt like the only one in the room who sees the full picture – who knows that spiritual practice and political struggle are not separate, but one?

You are not alone.

Join us as we practice:

Liberation

  • Learn and practice the spiritual and relational tools that liberation demands.

  • Discuss strategy, and discern when and how to to apply tools that enable us to build a better world, while resisting oppression in this one.

Alchemy

  • Transmute rage and grief into sustained, strategic action.

  • Transform burnout into renewed energy and purpose.

  • Shift hearts and mindswith clarity and compassion

Solidarity

  • Develop a network of solidarity and understanding with other radical spiritual activists.

  • Find your accomplices – those who will stand beside you, and hold you accountable.

About Namora

I am a grandchild of empire.

As a young Malaysian, I advocated against race‑based discrimination at home, and the subtle reach of white supremacy into our culture and institutions.

Later, as a Buddhist monastic, I sat with the liberatory lessons of Buddhism, but grew frustrated at how little the institution did to embody our precepts as real-world change.

I’ve worked as an organiser, therapist, and facilitator for years, bridging political liberation with spiritual wisdom in a way that centres accountability, justice, and our shared-humanity.

As I crossed paths with others seeking the saw the full picture, The Sunflower Community was born to support us in our work.

Check-in Circle

A space to speak emotionally with one another and practice Non‑violent Communication. Simple check‑in: your name, how you’re feeling, what’s been up for you. Then we follow where the group needs to go. The check-ins are emotionally oriented spaces.

SCRUM + Peer Coaching

Bring real interpersonal or organising problems and debrief them with your peers. This event is the only ones which is recorded. Two deep dives per sesson. The SCRUMS are solution-oriented spaces.

Thursday, 8pm CET


Deep Dive Sessions

Every Thursday, we practice something different, responding to the flow of our community needs. Thursday is when we have guest speakers, when we take part in apology labs, when we practice Qi Gong, or when we test entirely new formats to support our growth.

Sunday, 10am CET


We share a passage, then lead a meditation. Afterwards we discuss what came up for you – around the text, the practice, or your life.

Sangha (Meditation + Wisdom Sharing)

Plus seasonal special events, guest speakers, new moon rituals, and more.

Interactive Community Onboarding

The Sunflower Community bridges people of different backgrounds, faiths, and campaigns.

It is essential that we know how to be in right relationship with one another, so that the community can be a space of solidarity, and support. All new members are enrolled in this special onboarding course to get to know their peers, and practice the relational tools we need for collective liberation.

All sessions are 3 hours long with two 10 minute breaks, so that we are not seated in front of the PC for more than an hour at a time. Sessions are held live on Zoom and recordings are provided if you cannot attend live.

Session 1: Cults and Relational Dynamics

Date: 17 October, 10am CET to 1pm CET

In this opening workshop, we:

  • Meet one another and learn about the community’s purpose and values.

  • Co‑create shared norms that will guide our time together.

  • Explore what it means to be a spiritual activist – integrating inner practice with outer justice.

  • Examine the patterns of cults and abusive relationships, and contrast them with liberated community based on consent, mutual aid, and radical honesty.

Session 2: Dialogue and Non-Violent Communication

Date: 31 October, 10am CET to 1pm CET

We dive into the art of speaking and listening across difference:

  • Distinguish between debate, dialogue, and discussion.

  • Recognise the facets of violent communication (judgment, blame, etc.).

  • Practice non‑violent self‑expression and “elephant ears” listening – hearing what’s underneath the words.

  • Learn to turn contradictions into clarified action.

Session 3: Transformative Justice

Date: 14 November, 10am CET to 1pm CET

The final workshop prepares us to act with accountability:

  • Reflect on intimacy, identity, and how they shape our relationships.

  • Understand transformative justice – repairing harm without relying on punishment, shame or exile.

  • Navigate the difference between shame and accountability, and how to stay engaged.

  • Learn what it really means to be an accomplice, not just an ally.

The onboarding sessions are crucial for us to be able to flock together as a truly decentralized community. If you are unable to make it to a given session, recordings will be available to you, and you will be asked to write a short essay on the themes of that session.

Joining The Sunflower Community is a quarterly commitment and we only open our doors every 3 months.
