16 Guidelines Meditation Series
One of Karuna’s Spiritual Care Practitioners, Venerable Gonpo, will be hosting a series of meditations that cultivate positive inner qualities. The series is inspired by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom’s (FDCW) 16 Guidelines program.
The meditations are structured into 16 sessions of one hour each. Each meditation can be attended as a standalone session, however for the full benefit of the program we encourage participation in all 16 sessions. The sessions will be hosted in person, as well as online.
The meditation section of the sessions will be recorded and available via our website.
Registrations are not required.
This is a FREE series, however if you would like to make a donation to support Karuna, please visit: www.karuna.org.au/donate-karuna
