Kum Nye TrainingAll of the following dates are open to be joined as
retreats, with the exception of the 15 - 17 Feb 2008 retreat.
2 year Training
Composed of 4 two-day seminars and 4 five-day seminars over two years,
starting in October 2006
This course is offered at Karuna as a two year
training in the Kum Nye practices brought to the west by Tarthang Tulku
Rinpoche. These practices involve the deepening embodiment practices of
Nyingmapa Tibetan Buddhism within the context of the awareness practices of
Theravadin Buddhism. Karuna has integrated these practices as an important
part of its
Psychotherapy Training in Core Process Psychotherapy for over twenty years
and also offered Kum Nye Retreats for all who are able to embrace the silent
tradition of meditation. The intention is to offer the practices for those
who may want to deepen their personal Kum Nye meditative practice. Also
those who may want to incorporate these practices within their own
therapeutic practice. This may be extended to those practitioners who wish
to offer introductory classes in Kum Nye. The training will continue to be
offered in Noble Silence but will include opportunities to extend a
theoretical understanding of the psychospiritual practice within with the
Buddhist paradigm and a Western psychodynamic orientation.
