About VIHASA

Originally launched in the UK and now delivered globally, VIHASA is grounded in the understanding that personal reflection and inner values are at the heart of sustainable, compassionate healthcare. The programme is not delivered as a lecture or training but facilitated through experiential learning - encouraging dialogue, silence, self-awareness, and group connection.

Facilitators are invited to guide rather than teach, embodying the principles they share and creating space for participants to explore their own insights and understanding.

VALUES IN HEALTHCARE PROGRAMME

The VIHASA Modules

Each module contains guided reflections, meditations, group sharing, and practical tools to bring values into professional life. As a facilitator, you will find in each module the structure to support a journey of self-discovery, connection, and professional growth.

Your Role as a Facilitator

As outlined in JF’s Good Practice Guidelines​, facilitators are encouraged to:
  • Create a safe and respectful learning environment
  • Guide sessions rather than deliver lectures
  • Be familiar with and practise the content themselves
  • Stay neutral and inclusive, honouring diverse perspectives
  • Support participant-led reflection and dialogue
Modules may be delivered as full-day workshops, half-day sessions, or integrated into a wider professional development programme.

Designed for Flexibility

VIHASA modules can be delivered in a format that suits your setting - whether you’re leading a group session in a hospital, facilitating a reflective workshop online, or integrating values into a broader curriculum. The structure is adaptable while remaining anchored in core experiential learning principles.

Supportive Resources at Your Fingertips

Each module includes step-by-step guidance, handouts, meditation audio tracks, and creative exercises - empowering you to create meaningful, reflective experiences with confidence and care.
