Bodhi Inner Path Circle
A monthly contemplative community for therapists walking the spiritual path together
Deepen Buddhist Practice in Community to Support Work and Life
You spend your days listening deeply, attuning, and offering presence, patience, and clarity - even on days when you feel flat. You guide others in mindfulness and self-compassion, yet you rarely have a space where you are held.
You've read books and journal articles on ACT, CFT and Buddhism, and you're keen to learn more in Buddhism, but you find it hard to digest those technical jargons and terms.
"Am I being in my head again?"
"Am I missing something here?"
Somewhere between sessions, reports, responsibilities, and family life, you've noticed it: a mind still buzzing after the last client, a quiet tiredness beneath your shoulders, a longing for something steadier and less rushed.
Not burnout. Not crisis.
Just a gentle awareness:
“I want to feel more grounded and connected within.”
If that's familiar, this circle was created for you.
Why This Circle Exists
Most therapists don’t need:
more strategies
more self‑improvement
more things to “fix”
more self-care strategies
another program that becomes a burden
What therapists do need is:
a regular place to pause and return home to Self
a steady rhythm that helps us return to ourselves
a like-hearted community of fellow spiritual seekers
practices that support clarity, not perfection
a way to stay grounded while holding others or when life gets 'stormy' and the world climate is 'heavy'
What’s Included Each Month
We meet twice a month, alternating between practice and reflection.
Special social events may be organised within the community.
Meditation Circle Session (every second Friday of the Month)
A guided, accessible meditation space designed to develop inner capacities and strengthen your clinical presence:
• helps your mind settle
• reduces internal chatter and emotional reactivity
• re-centres your attention
• cultivates grounded awareness
• accesses clarity and regulation through the body
These practices are experiential and grounded — suitable for both beginners and seasoned meditators. They directly enhance self-regulation, therapeutic presence, and psychological flexibility.
Dharma-Informed Book Club (every fourth Friday of the Month)
For Australian participants, you will be gifted books from authors of the Buddhahood Lineage World Humanity Vehicle Buddhism, delivered to you by post. For example, "The Dynamics of The Mind." "108 Words of Wisdom."
Together, we will read short chapters and engage in meaningful reflection, exploring how Buddhist psychology supports clinical work and therapist wellbeing.
Each month, we choose materials and themes relevant to the realities of clinical work, such as:
• showing up with presence instead of performance
• holding others’ emotions without absorbing them
• staying steady with clients' suffering
• navigating boundaries with kindness and compassion
• reconnecting with your values during difficult moments
• finding clarity in decision-making
This is guided reflective practice with peers, supported by a board-approved supervisor. Sessions may contribute to your self-directed CPD hours where reflective practice forms part of your learning plan.
Moderated Practitioner Community
A quiet online space (off social media) where you can:
• share insights
• reflect on your month
• ask questions
• receive encouragement
• connect with others who understand your work
It’s a supportive, calm environment — not noisy, not overwhelming.
A Circle Rooted in Companionship
In Buddhist psychology, the idea of good friends on the path (kalyāṇa‑mitta)— spiritual friends who walk alongside us with honesty and care — is central to a grounded life.
This membership offers:
• Companionship
• Understanding
• A shared commitment to inner steadiness and cultivation towards personal awakening
You don’t have to explain what it means to hold space for clients while juggling family, neurodivergence, systemic pressures, or spiritual longing.
We get it.
We're walking it too.
Your Guide
Hi, I’m Poh — psychologist, board‑approved supervisor, long‑time meditator, host of The Practitioner’s Heart Podcast, and a fellow human navigating the complexity of caring for others while caring for myself. I have a keen interest in integrating psychology and Buddhism to support therapists to embody wisdom and compassion, to work sustainably while being on the path of awakening.
My intention is simple:
that you leave each session a little more settled and lighter than you arrived. That you are filled with dharma joy, peace and ease.
