The process is to weave in concepts of Trauma-Informed Somatic Integration with Contemplative Psychology. Integrated practices - combining methods and wisdom from both School of Reverence and Karuna Training, along with offering a coaching professionalization credential to all trainees.
Integrity coaching methods expand our capacity to self-regulate and be compassionately present and skilfully engaged in the World.

It’s a kind act to have a working understanding of the nervous system when offering oneself to others in
engaged compassionate coaching or other occupations.

A synthesis of several lineages
Psychological Work Lineage
Karuna Training brings 35 years of curriculum in Contemplative Psychology, as was originally developed by Ed Podvol at Naropa University in the ’70s and his groundbreaking work with the Windhorse Project.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable
