Drew Bellamy is a former President of the Buddhist Society, serving on the Executive Committee for 3 years up until 2018. Drew was instrumental in overseeing many important structural changes which has allowed the Society to thrive in it’s current format today.
This year is Drew’s 10th public Dhamma talk and the subject this time ‘Free Will – a Failed Fantasy’ is an examination of a lay people looking to change their future and what factors really work in this quest.
Please note – our Friday Night Speakers during Rains (11 July – 7 Oct 2025) are NOT live streamed, so please come along in person to enjoy the talk!
Significance of the Rains Retreat for Theravada Buddhism: During the Rains Retreat, we have guest speakers on Friday nights as our monastics stay at their monasteries and hermitages rather than coming to Dhammaloka to teach.
