Cultivating Compassion (DRAKE HALL)

Research shows that we are most joyful when we are kind, generous, and compassionate. Yet many barriers can stand in our way. As author Oscar Miro-Quesada writes, “The largest voyage you will ever take is the seventeen inches from your head to your heart.” This two-class series will explore ancient technologies and heart-centered practices for cultivating compassion. We will explore how to skillfully work with barriers by strengthening our capacity for mindful awareness and self-compassion. We will discover how bringing kindness to ourselves can ultimately lead to deeper compassion for others.
