Our Vision
As Chaplains, we are inspired by the Bodhisattva ideal, which is based on the blending of wisdom and service. Meeting people where we can best serve their needs is our primary aim.
Who We Are

Beyond apprenticeship, Chaplains have completed a two year certificated program offered by The Foundation for Buddhist Thought (FBT) taught by Geshe Tashi Tsering, Jamyang Buddhist Centre in London, UK.
