The Introductory Unit of CPE is the stepping stone to working as a volunteer in Buddhist contemplative care. Presented under the auspices of the NSW College of Clinical Pastoral Education, the course helps you deepen your awareness of the spiritual needs, hopes and resources of others while becoming more aware of your own values, beliefs, attitudes and assumptions. You will gain understanding of the role of pastoral/contemplative care and practical skills in listening and reflecting.

This is your invitation to apply for this course and is not a guarantee of acceptance.
