CENTER FOR ENGAGED COMPASSION
The Center for Engaged Compassion offers unique processes of “engaged compassion” that transform the desire to help others into practical actions that change the world for good. The Center teaches concrete, learnable practices, skills, and perspectives that give individuals, groups, communities, organizations, religious congregations, and governments the capabilities and sensibilities for creating genuine peace, healing, reconciliation, and collaboration through the formation of engaged compassion.
BELOVED partners with CEC in its mission by offering Compassion Practice programs, hosting “Meet the Author” events and providing copies of related books at reduced rates. BELOVED also looks forward to becoming a center for the CEC Facilitator-in-Training program.

THE COMFORT CUB
Marcella Johnson, Founder and President of The Comfort Cub, invented the world’s very first weighted therapeutic teddy bear after the death of her son, George Gabriel Johnson, on April 11, 1999. When she first began she made each teddy bear by hand and personally delivered them to every hospital in her hometown of San Diego, CA. The Comfort Cub is now in top hospitals across the USA and is used on every continent to help alleviate grief. Although its was originally created for mothers who lose a child, The Comfort Cub has effectively been used to provide profound relief for loss of any loved one, adoptions, trauma, occupational and autism therapy. Her goal is help bring healing to anyone experiencing a significant loss in their life. BELOVED is honored to support The Comfort Cub in their efforts to put compassion in practice. Their mission aligns with our vision of practicing radical inclusion, relentless compassion and extravagant grace. |
