Buddhist Psychology Summer School

An opportunity to join with staff and students from the Amida Psychotherapy Training Programme for five days of workshops, lectures and experiential sessions in the French countryside. This event will provide an excellent introduction for those interested in the topic who have no prior experience, as well as offering regular students a chance to gain course credits in a different setting to that of our regular course blocks in the UK. It will give space for the exploration of the application of Buddhist psychology in therapeutic contexts, both in general terms, and in terms of developing specific other-centred skills. For existing students it will provide consolidation of learning gained from other courses, as well as providing time to relax together and get to know each other in new ways : pleasant atmosphere of the Amida centre. The structure of the day will be negotiable with the group but will probably consist of morning and evening formal learning sessions, with afternoons free for walking, swimming or conversation. There will be opportunities to join Buddhist practice at the centre, and participants may want to extend their stay to join one of our other programmes. Recommended pre-reading for participants: David Brazier's Zen Therapy and Caroline Brazier's Buddhist Psychology. Note that this event will include personal sharing as well as theoretical discussion. This event carries half credit for registered students.

Total Cost for BP summer school : €300/£200 for public €200/£125 for all registered students

Hi, wrote a message on your personal page as well. Hoping that it is still possible to join. We would appreciate to understand the full cost of such an exursion. A friend and I have found finally some cheap flights from Israel to Paris. Would this be the best? How and what is the cost of travel from airport, should it be prepared in advanced? How long could it take and are there specific times that one from the house could come and pick us up? Are there other expenses that we should consider?
Thanks
Kindly Juditta

I would also very much like to attend this event as I think it would be a great start for me in this subject - Not sure how i will do it as I do not work for pay and so my income is minimal ( entirely by choice) but I am going to look in to what the cost may be. Many thanks x

Would be interested to get a bit more info. Also if there is a way to cut down costs for the travel from the airport.. maybe there's someone arriving from Israel as well, or is there a possibility to share with other people that intend to arrive around the same time. Pragmatic thinking of how much this trip does cost :-) Thanks JD

Would love to attend, (Especially if I could get a lift there!) but it's not cheap. Well, I'm sure it's very cheap considering what you get for your money, but it's quite expensive considering my disposable income.

I be interested in attending the Buddhist psychology Summer School. I would like to know more about Amida France - what the accomodations are like etc. I also have to check for reasonable flights from Canada.

This camp collides with my Aikido Summer Camp in the USA. Please let me know of future camps.
Thanks
