“Compassion is the Radicalism of our Time”

Compassion Cultivation Training©

CCT is a unique and compelling 8-week process that develops within you the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness. Expand your empathy and concern for others, develop your strength to be with suffering and take compassionate action, and build resilience to prevent empathy fatigue.  

During 2-hour online sessions you will explore training your mind and developing skills for relating to yourself and others by intentionally choosing compassionate thoughts and actions. Weekly sessions employ input and discussion, in-class exercises and daily meditation practices to develop loving-kindness, empathy, and compassion, as well as “real-world homework” assignments that nurture compassionate thoughts and actions. 

CCT supports your own health, happiness, and well-­­being.  Research suggests that by increasing self-compassion CCT can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and enhance connections with others.  CCT was developed by Thupten Jinpa (principal English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama) at Stanford University with a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.
