Please note that the Buddhist Spiritual Care programme is currently only taught in Dutch (with only a few elements in English)!
The first year of the Buddhist Spiritual Care training consists of introductory courses and an internship. Students are encouraged to link theory to practice, while exploring their own style as Buddhist spiritual caregivers. The courses of the second year provide deepening of the Buddhist teachings and offer more opportunities to connect the Buddhist teachings with professional application.
Towards the end of the training, the educational trajectory becomes more individual, and students have more freedom to shape the content of the modules themselves. The programme is concluded with a portfolio in which the students reflect on the entire programme, demonstrate their professional competence, and evaluate their development goals. The profession of a Buddhist spiritual caregiver requires lifelong learning.
The courses of the Buddhist Spiritual Care training are given on Wednesdays. Students and teachers retreat every two years for all active students.
