Arti Lal and Inner Space

Ruth Rogers shares warm memories with Arti Lal, the coordinator of Inner Space, a Brahma Kumaris meditation and development centre in Covent Garden, central London that ran free Tuesday Talks at Ruth's community cafe, The Canvas, from 2015-2020.

Together, they discuss the importance of community, the evolution of Inner Space, and the impact of meditation on well-being.

Arti shares insights on how Inner Space has adapted to serve the community, especially post-pandemic, and emphasises the need for more spaces that foster connection and support.

The conversation highlights the power of volunteers, the challenges faced in the current climate, and the shared human experience that brings people together.
