Why it Works

The Work

As we humans have developed other technologies, the technology of compassion has been developed too. This course provides the “how to” of creating more understanding, empathy, and compassion in our daily lives – a way to create a world we will be happy to leave our children’s children. The work is challenging, at times confronting, and with perseverance, practice, focus, and dedication, it works. The course starts with foundational concepts and practices that help us understand what engenders compassion and what blocks it, and as the year progresses, we work with more advanced practices and processes that help us effectively bring more compassion into our everyday lives. The course teaches us how to become personally “peace capable” and to contribute to a home, a village, and a society that has more understanding, more empathy, and more harmony. Enrolling in The Compassion Course is a positive step you can take to be the change we want to see in the world.
