Healing Support Group

Buddha House provides a variety of activities and resources for people who are faced with times of physical or emotional difficulties.

Often the most potent catalyst in ones spiritual practice is the realisation of our own mortality. For many people their search for a healthier way of living has lead them to Buddha House and a Buddhist lifestyle.

The Karuna Group (pronunciation ku'roo-na, n. in Buddhism, the universal compassion of a Bodhisattva) at Buddha House has a special interest in the healing benefits of Buddhist practice. They meet regularly, on the 3rd Saturday of each month, to meditate together and share ideas. The Karuna Group offers a safe and welcoming environment for those with health or life challenges, to be able to share a comforting chat and refreshments with people who are happy to lend a listening ear. Each session also includes a meditaional training. The Karuna group is facilitated by members of the Patoral Care Group. Check the What's On page  for information about the group's meeting times.

Buddha House also regularly facilitates group retreats, public talks and workshops with visiting teachers on topics relevant to health, healing and death.
