COMPASSION TRAINING WORKSHOP

Like so many of you, we see the need for compassion to play a more prominent role in our personal and professional lives, and in society altogether. Recent scientific research has confirmed that compassion training, using simple contemplative activities and practices, can deepen and broaden our ability to express, and act upon, the compassion that is inherent in all human beings.

Waves of Compassion has been exploring ways to make compassion training available locally. They have facilitated 5 three hour workshops and 1 all day workshop for over 120 people. During the workshops four themes are developed:

1.         how to create a compassionate environment,
2. contemplative tools for enhancing compassion,
3. the importance of self-compassion, and
4. compassionate action in the world as a contemplative practice (bringing compassion into the daily activities of businesses, churches, NGO’s, government, schools, family etc.).

We are pleased to offer a three hour workshop on Saturday, March 26th, 2016. Anyone with an interest in compassion training is welcome. The workshop will be held at the Tantallon Library just off Exit 5.

There is no charge for attending, but donations are welcome. Coffee, tea, & cookies will be offered. It would be helpful if you would preregister, using the link below. (Of course, you are welcome to attend without pre-registering, if you prefer).
