Karuna Training North America

Description of Organization

Karuna is a community of practitioners who aspire to remain open-hearted in the face of pain and paradox. Drawing from Vajrayana Buddhism, Karuna trains people in the practices of Contemplative Psychology to integrate the world’s trauma by turning our allegiance towards innate basic sanity and the potency of community. Karuna Training aspires to provide learning communities that engender equality, belonging, and support for diverse trainees. Karuna Training is a non-secular, non-religious approach to Contemplative psychology that doesn’t require trainees to be or become a Buddhist, but values the propagation of contemplative psychology methods that can be disseminated and shared with others in multiple contexts and situations.
