SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Sowing Seeds of Compassion: A Boundless Compassion Weekend Retreat

With compassion at the center of our lived experience\, we learn to approach others with respect\, grow in our ability to lessen suffering\, and encourage each other to live compassionately. \n\n\n\nTogether we will reflect on the call to be a compassionate presence\, to adopt compassion as a way of life\, and to practice self-compassion. Through prayer\, reflection\, and conversation\, participants will be supported in deepening their understanding and practice of compassion in daily life. \n\n\n\nInterested participants will also be invited to continue the journey through three follow-up Zoom gatherings: Compassion and the Suffering\, Compassion and the Marginalized\, and Compassion for Creation. The weekend retreat and follow-up sessions are prerequisites for those who wish to become a Boundless Compassion Facilitator.
