Join lead Karuna faculty members Miriam and Naoko, as well as a few Karuna graduates, on Sunday, April 13th. This is an informational, storytelling, and live question-and-answer session for those who are considering signing up for or are already registered for the Karuna Training Basic Cohort beginning in late May 2025. The first part will cover frequently asked questions, followed by a section in the middle with Karuna graduates who will share some of their personal stories about their experiences. Then, we will have an "ask us anything" session to close.
If you sign up you will get a recording, and all the information will be included, but coming live means you can engage and ask your own questions.
On Karuna Training
In Karuna Training, we find strength in the intrinsic openness, wisdom, and compassion available to us as human beings. The word Karuna means compassion in Sanskrit. Karuna Training brings together a community of people who trust the world’s wisdom to awaken our compassionate hearts. We can learn to resource ourselves and integrate our experiences to live a more empowered life. The world needs all of our compassion, health, and wisdom.
For 28 years, Karuna Training has offered time-tested mindfulness and compassion-based programs in Europe and North America.
A cohort is forming for the next Karuna Training program starting in 2025. Learn more about the Basic Training Program here.
