Life After Death, A New Karuna Course

An opportunity to pause on your journey since the loss of someone you love and reflect on how this has changed your life…

This course is ideal for anyone touched by the death of a loved one and interested in looking more deeply with others on the impact of this experience and how it has altered their understanding and approach to life.

Over 6 evenings we will explore the following themes:

  • Death - an encounter with life’s mystery?
  • Grieving your way
  • Aloneness
  • Communion with your loved one - what continues?
  • Relationships and friendships - old wood/new growth
  • You and Your life! - drawing meaning to live with

The evenings will be relaxed and gentle with opportunities for questions and discussion.

He is sustained and inspired by the richness of the human spirit and the touching possibilities within human relationships.

Death and Dying: A Tibetan Buddhist Perspective ‘08

We are pleased to announce another offering of our very popular Karuna Life Education course, which takes a look with a Tibetan Buddhist perspective at that eternal question, “what happens when we die”?

In a gentle and compassionate way, explore death and dying from the viewpoint of Tibetan Buddhism. By understanding the cycle of life and death, we can also view loss and grief in a new way; developing both wisdom and loving kindness for ourselves and others. The day will be relaxed and informal, encouraging questions and discussions, facilitated by Buddhist nun Tenzin Chodron.

The session will run from 10am to 4pm, Sunday 20th April. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Please contact us to book your place.
