Spiritual Care Programme UK

The Spiritual Care Programme draws its inspiration directly from the teachings and practices given in The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche. We explore the practical ways in which the compassion and wisdom of the Buddhist teachings can benefit those facing illness or death through helping their families and caregivers. The programme, has been developed since 1993, and emphasizes universal spiritual principles that many have found resonate with their own particular faith. The UK Spiritual Care Team offers seminars on such themes as:

Being Present with Death: a day for caregivers to explore the value of a spiritual perspective and spiritual practice
Who Cares for the Carers: finding spiritual resources within ourselves
Opening the Heart to Loss and Grief: a spiritual approach to bereavement

On invitation, we also run training days and give talks in a variety of settings including hospitals, hospices, colleges, and conferences.
