Compassion is a fairly new word in scientific circles, but has already proven to be an invaluable one. Research demonstrates how compassion helps to decrease stress and anxiety, and can also increase our capacity for kindness and generosity, which in turn allows us to connect better with others. Contemplative traditions teach us, that cultivating a Mind which is compassionate can help us move towards greater truths and a more clearer understanding of our nature.
Join us in an interactive session to deepen our understanding of Compassion as we explore select teachings from older traditions and recent research. And we aspire that you are able to walk away with simple and meaningful ways of of bringing Compassion into your daily life.
