This week we'd like to introduce you to Morag Ruffell, a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.

Morag integrates Psychodynamic and Buddhist understanding into her approach, which is person-centered and with a focus on empathy, authenticity and no judgement.
Her main focuses are working with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, bereavement, and relationship difficulties, and she has a kind offering of lower rates for those on lower incomes.

To get in contact, be sure to email moragruffellcounselling@gmail.com

We thought we'd take a moment to highlight the late Ven. Geshe Damcho Yonten (‘Geshe-la’) who the Lam Rim Buddhist Centre was established under the guidance of, and the inspiration for.

Following a request from his Bristol students, Geshe-la visited Bristol on the second and fourth Tuesdays in the month and taught at a house in Westbury Park. As the group increased in size, the Bristol students sought a centre and, in 1989, the Lam Rim Bristol Buddhist Centre was established in Bedminster. He continued his Tuesday teachings at the Centre together with occasional weekend courses and retreats.

On Saturday 26th August 2017, Geshe-la gently passed away at the age of 87. He was happy up to the last moment, urging us to “keep happy mind.” The centre continues to follow the purpose and direction that Geshe-la instilled in us.

As you enter the front door of our warm and welcoming centre, you can see some elements of our historic building which has stood for 122 years!
The building has already lived a long and rich life, serving purposes as a church club, various dancing schools, a YMCA and finally, the Lam Rim and Centre for Whole Health.

We'd like to give a special thanks to Paul! Our maintenance man and all-round friendly face. 🌸

Paul has helped the centre for over 20 years now, with everything from painting and decorating, general fixes and DIY. He's given the CWH all the love and care we could ever ask for. He's been our go-to man for any and all building needs for the longest time, and we wish him well as he moves into retirement.

Thanks Paul!

Today we thought we'd show off our beautiful courtyard!🌼🌺🌹

Rooms 3, 4 and the Cafe overlook parts of this lovely, bright garden. It is regularly looked after by our receptionist, Caroline, and our maintenance lead, Paul, as are the many plants and flowers that grow here.
