Connection Through Compassion: FREE Community Support Session with Monica Hanson, April 10, 2020
English
Compassion Institute is offering this free Connection through Compassion drop-in practice session to all those worldwide who wish to come together in community and do our best to meet these challenging times with humanity and compassion.
In this 45-minute session, Compassion Institute Founding Faculty Monica Hanson will offer information, practices, guided meditation, and an opportunity for you to ask questions. In addition, we also provide a dedicated discussion forum for you to connect with others around these topics on an ongoing basis.
Our aim is to provide some relief during this challenging period, offer a possible way to decrease any distress you may be feeling, and shine a light on kindness, generosity and interconnection during this time of heightened concern, uncertainty, and isolation.
This session will take place in a live online group-learning environment. We encourage you to attend from a quiet location with a reliable Internet connection, and to have a microphone available if you are interested in asking questions. You will not be required to appear on video.
If you have any questions about our community support sessions, please contact [email protected].
