About Karuna

The Institute provides opportunities for deepening embodied awareness and cultivating presence and open-heartedness in relationship.

The integration of mindfulness practices with western psychotherapeutic and Craniosacral Biodynamic practices is entirely unique. The Institute is evolving its own wisdom tradition, which acknowledges its ancient roots in Buddhist psychology, ethics and practice and also its roots in western psychodynamic psychotherapeutic practice. It provides unique contemporary trainings at the forefront of orthodox and complementary healthcare.

There are three complementary streams of activity generated within the Institute:

• Trainings in Core Process Psychotherapy, a mindfulness-based psychotherapy tradition
• Trainings in Craniosacral Biodynamic Therapy
• Retreat giving, including associated trainings
