The 2024 Compassion Course will feature a significantly upgraded community experience, from a forum and message board to this year’s inaugural rollout of the Global Compassion Network (GCN).

The GCN provides a lively meeting place where participants connect from around the globe. This is where participants actively participate among the members of our Compassion Course community. Folks can ask questions, discuss course content and share their successes and challenges. Through specific discussion groups such as parenting, relationships, empathy skills, self-compassion, workplace issues, and more participants can fine tune their practice and learn from each other.

The GCN is also a resource center where participants can find practice groups, mentors, empathy buddies, practice partners and empathy cafes and circles.

It is also a wonderful place to meet people and be known. The GCN allows each member to create and personalize their profile including CCO credentials (e.g. Practice Group Facilitators, Mentors and Empathy Circle Hosts), profile pictures, bios, headlines, and social media links.
