Our past events have included:

• Tours by monks and lay performing artists.
• Visits by Tibetan Physicians to give medical consultations and lectures in the UK.
• Workshops and seminars on a variety of Tibetan subjects.
• Tibetan language courses (both spoken and written).
• Tibetan fairs - including arts and crafts available from our Tibet Shop.

We also have a series of collections of Tibetan art and artifacts to increase the awareness of Tibetan Culture in the West. These include:

• The 'Tibet - A living Culture' exhibition.
• The design and maintenance of Samten Kyil, the Tibetan Peace Garden in London.

Tibet Foundation supports the documentation and preservation of Tibetan Culture through:

• Recording and Publishing of Tibetan music through Tibet Foundation Recordings.
• Recording of Cultural and Religious events by Tibet Films

Our work is documented and supported by the Tibet Foundation Newsletter, sent quarterly to all members of the Foundation.
