Karuna Dartmoor
Training & Retreat Centre
Karuna is a Sanskrit word that means compassion. This is understood to be a natural dimension of our human condition and manifests through bringing a quality of awareness and presence to our experience. In everyday life, the challenge is to cultivate a state of presence within which we can rest so that this nourishes our perceptions of ourselves and others.
Based in the heart of moorland in Devon, Karuna Dartmoor (previously The Karuna Institute) is a world famous centre for Core Process Psychotherapy and Kum Nye training. We provide opportunities for deepening embodied awareness and cultivating presence and open-heartedness in relationship.
The integration of mindfulness practices with western psychotherapeutic practices is entirely unique. Karuna Dartmoor is evolving its own wisdom tradition, which acknowledges its ancient roots in Buddhist psychology, ethics and practice and also its roots in western psychodynamic psychotherapeutic practice. It provides unique contemporary trainings at the forefront of orthodox and complementary healthcare.
