Exeter Respect Festival is the city’s annual celebration of diversity, where performing and creative arts are used to engage the wider community in saying no to racism and all forms of prejudice. The Respect ethos is a simple one: racism and prejudice often spring from fear, and fear is often based on ignorance, so we can overcome ignorance by getting to know one another and sharing not shunning our cultures, faiths and beliefs. One of the best ways to get to know someone is to enjoy yourself with them, hence our celebratory event and adoption of the old Commission for Racial Equality slogan: All Different, All Equal!

At university he became interested in meditation and Buddhism, which culminated in a decision to join a Buddhist monastic order in 1987.
