COMPASSION CULTIVATION TRAINING© Classes
“I think being human is about being in the right kind of relationships. I think being human is a process. It’s not something that we just are born with. We actually learn to celebrate our connection, learn to celebrate our love. And the thing about it — if you suffer, it does not imply love. But if you love, it does imply suffering. So part of the thing that I think what being human means — to love and to suffer; to suffer with, though, compassion, not to suffer against. So, to have a space big enough to suffer with, and if we can hold that space big enough, we also will have joy and fun, even as we suffer. And suffering will no longer divide us. And to me, that’s sort of the human journey.”
Participate in an upcoming session of Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT™) and explore this shared human journey of compassion in community. CCT is an 8-week personal and professional development course designed at Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) and now housed at the Compassion Institute. The program includes practical tools and exercises designed to enhance your awareness, compassion, social connection, and resilience.
