Compassion Groups
Compassion Groups at the Aslan Training Institute provide individuals with a supportive community where they can connect with others and find compassion, understanding, and guidance. Our expert clinicians, Lyndall Johnson and Charisse Lyons, lead these monthly groups and guide attendees to "turn their eyes inward" to cultivate greater awareness, understanding, and compassion for themselves and others.
Following the principle of Tonglen, a powerful meditation practice, attendees are guided to look within, be present to, and witness the ways they contribute to their own suffering in community. This deep practice cultivates a greater capacity for self-awareness, self-responsibility, change, and healing. Join us and benefit from the transformative power of compassion for yourself and others.
Workshops & Courses
Aslan Training Institute offers both in person and online workshops and courses, which are designed to promote your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health and wellbeing. Our teachings focus on inner growth, self-awareness, and aim to bolster personal therapeutic work and professional development.
We offer a range of courses on topics such as re-parenting, attachment, boundaries, shame, trauma, and nutrition to help you better understand and heal yourself, and improve your relationship with yourself and others.
Retreats & Pilgrimages
Our psycho-spiritual retreats and pilgrimages are the perfect way to focus on your emotional, mental, and spiritual health and well-being. We offer excursions to local and international destinations, incorporating group and individual work that's designed to support you on your journey to self-awareness and personal growth.
With a focus on inner reflection and the impact you have on others and the environment, you'll come away with new insights and connections that will last a lifetime.
