All courses are complete in themselves and, unless otherwise stated, may be attended by the general public. If you would like to join us for a weekend course please contact courses@amidatrust.com For students registered on one of our longer programmes, course fees are paid as lump sum payments. Costs for those who are not registered students on psychotherapy courses are £55 per day for Amida Trust members (£40 per day for those registered on another Amida Trust training programme). If you are joining us for more than two days it is usually worth taking out a general registration (see course prospectus for ddetails). Bursaries are available to those on low incomes staying in basic accommodation. Fully Engaged Buddhism courses are offered on dana basis. Accommodation costs are additional. Attendance is subject to the conditions given elsewhere on this site. Since some of our courses are professional trainings, if you wish to attend part of a psychotherapy training course block and you have not previously done so, we will contact you to discuss its suitability.
