Kundalini Insight®
Tantric Dharma practice Ki takes place inside our dōjō, a place of immersive learning and meditation. Ki 気 is the Japanese word for air; atmosphere; flavour; heart; mind; spirit; feelings; humor; an intention; will. Seekers thirsting for spiritual connection and real world integration can take refuge in this spiritual martial art.
Counselling Groups
Counselling at the Garuda Centre is straight-forward, exploratory and non-intimidating. Learn to navigate relationships, develop healthy boundaries + make good decisions with an expert. Check with your extended health insurance provider to find out if you are covered for Registered Clinical Counselling (RCC).
