Sarana Institute

Sarana Institute Sarana Institute provides mindfulness training that supports awakening compassion, inviting us to better care for ourselves, others and the earth.

Sarana Institute is a Registered Charity, community-inspired organization. Sarana means “refuge or sanctuary” in Pali (an ancient language from the time of the Historical Buddha). Sarana means where we draw inner or spiritual strength and meaning. A place of refuge is both an inner state or an outer place that reminds us of our wholeness and oneness with life and all creatures. At Sarana, our trai

ning programs are built upon a foundation of perspectives grounded in Western secular mindfulness, psychology, neuroscience, perm culture, deep ecology, Indigenous wisdom, Buddhist philosophy, Abhidharma (Buddhist psychology) and the teachings of the historical Buddha. These emerge today as modern wisdom ways for achieving happiness and well being.
