Judy Arpana is a spiritual care consultant, funeral celebrant, counsellor, seminar facilitator and provides supervision to people in the helping professions

SPIRITUAL CARE CONSULTANT, COUNSELLING & SUPERVISION


As a spiritual care consultant and educator, Judy offers seminars to health care professionals, people with life-limiting illness and anyone interested in learning more about end-of-life preparation.

Judy is available for counselling and supervision. This can be done face to face in Lismore or via Skype. 

In these sessions she draws on her years of experience and Buddhist teachings to bring presence and guidance to peopleโ€™s queries, address concerns and assist in the development of a resilient understanding of the world.

These sessions, which can include clinical supervision, focus on areas such as: 

  • Grief and loss
  • The challenge of living with uncertainty

Judy provides grief and loss counselling and supervision for medical professionals.

Judy is an experienced and endeared funeral celebrant working in the Northern New South Wales region.

INDIA PILGRIMAGES & CULTURAL TOURS


Since 1995 she has led small groups of people with Ngakpa Lama Karma Lhundup Rinpoche to the heartland of Tibetan Buddhism in the foothills of the Himalayas and other holy Buddhist places in India.

Between Judy and Karma, they have more than 40 years’ of experience travelling in India and studying Buddhism. Judy first went to India in 1975, and has a wild repertoire of experience under her belt which isn’t exclusive to Buddhism or religious studies – she is a woman who we can really say went to the โ€œschool of lifeโ€.

In addition to the long-run itinerary to Himachal Pradesh, Judy also offers personally designed tours based on your places of interest.

Arpanaโ€™s group facilitation was relaxed and warm, and her breadth of experience and depth of understanding evident. She created a space where I could gently explore grief in the largest sense of the word.

Judy’s Pilgrimages to Northern India are truly an insightful way of immersing oneself into the beauty and culture of this fabulous land.

Judy’s knowledge of India is remarkable and her connection with this ancient land and its people help make a pilgrimage with her, Karma and Lily a truly memorable life experience.

We’ve been on three tours with Judy, Karma and Lily – each one truly unique.

The spirit of this land never leaves you.

The hurly-burly and sometimes confronting scenes of Delhi, the “bright lights “of Kalimpong, the Golden Temple of Amritsar, the very special Mcleod Ganj, Mandi, Bodh Gaya – these places are all captivating, and there are so many more.

This is THE way to see India and its beautiful people.
