Karuna Training Is Coming to Baltimore! A Training in Engaged Compassion

At times in life, it's easy to lose our compassion, or think that we have.  This day-and-a-half program will focus on the natural infrastructure of open-heartedness which we all posssess.  The weekend is designed to introduce the three primary principles of contemplative psychology: intrinsic health, compassionate exchange, and wisdom co-emerging with confusion.

What is Karuna Training?

Karuna is the Sanskrit word meaning compassion, and Karuna Training is a compassion and meditation-based program that teaches how to work with intense emotions, improve communication, and genuinely connect with others. It is a journey of personal transformation where we train in keeping our hearts open in the face of difficulty.

Karuna Training is rooted in the Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana view that challenging situations and emotions are gateways to intelligence and enlightenment. Founded in Germany in 1996 it is a two-year program that is currently running in six countries in Europe and in Berkeley, Seattle and Albuquerque in North America. A new Karuna Training program is scheduled to begin in Baltimore in Spring 2019.

This stand-alone class has no prerequisites, and all are welcome.

Price: $150*
