Testimonies from spring 2024 course
“Participating in the Rigpa Parenting Course was an absolute joy.
It was a gift to connect with a truly wonderful, international sangha of parents each week. This course filled a real need I had to connect with other Buddhist parents on a deeper and more experiential level.
The instructors guided us in a skillful and compassionate way through insightful reflections and through sharing precious teachings. They created a safe and supportive space for us to explore our experiences as parents and Buddhists.
I would wholeheartedly take this course again"
A mother from New York
“I think this course is amazing. I’m really rejoicing in all the materials that have been shared. I feel like spreading the word to all the parents so they are able to take this course.
This course is so useful, not just as a parent but as a person, not just as a mother but for my spiritual path."
A mother from Spain
"The parenting course was excellent: the instructors were very competent and the course was very well held, the Buddhist wisdom of invaluable benefit (clarifying questions, giving guidance) and the exchange with other parents very down to earth, practical and with a sense of deep sharing."
