The Buddhist Lens in Existential Practice

• Online
• 10th Dec '26 10.00 am – 12.00 pm

Existential therapy and Buddhism both engage deeply with how we live honestly in the face of impermanence, uncertainty and suffering. This workshop brings the two traditions into conversation.

We’ll begin with an introduction to some foundational Buddhist principles, then explore where they intersect with existential theory and what that meeting can offer us in the therapy room. Both traditions value lived experience over theory, and the workshop follows suit by keeping things practical.
