While this approach is an outgrowth of insight meditation and early Buddhist teachings, we value and incorporate the principles of western psychology and creativity into our mentorship and training. It is important to us that we, along with our mentees, lead an ethical and internally congruent life while deepening our understanding of meditation and dharma practice through reflection and self-compassion.
these modules are…
mentorship for individuals while training, in small groups or one on one
a chance to deepen your practice and pass what you learn along to others
a collaborative, relational model of mentorship and training
