Becoming Compassion
​Putting Compassion into Action
​Tuesdays, April 6th - 27th
7:00-8:30 PM PST
Hosted via Zoom
Looking for a way to translate your compassion for others into meaningful action?
Join our online Compassion Practice group as we encourage one another to take compassionate action through guided meditation, personal reflection and group sharing as you are comfortable.

Once our deep feelings of love and justice are awakened, we are only part of the way through the process of cultivating engaged compassion. Being moved by others’ experiences of suffering leads us to take action for restorative care, according to Frank Rogers, Jr., developer of the Compassion Practice.

Join us online on Tuesday evenings April 6th - 27th as we explore the many forms compassion can take: generosity, service, witness, solidarity, empowerment, and justice. Acknowledging that each of us will take the action that is right for us, you will discover that sometimes we may be moved one way and at other times we may be moved in another way.

You can register for any or all of the Tuesday evenings sessions, and join us for as many sessions as you are able. Come and get grounded in compassion, and then put your compassion into action!
