FREE COMPASSION PRACTICE GROUPS
Our weekly Compassion Practice groups offer a time of guided meditation, personal reflection and group sharing!
Two times are offered to conveniently fit into your schedule: Mondays at 1 PM PDT and Tuesdays at 7 PM PDT. Attend either gathering and experience an oasis of grounding, presence and compassion in the middle of your week.
We practice open-hearted sharing and nonjudgmental, compassionate listening based on the Compassion Practice developed by Frank Rogers, Jr. Incorporating mindful attention to our internal experience, the Compassion Practice nurtures authentic compassion for others — starting with ourselves. Trained Compassion Practice facilitators invite interfaith group sharing free from cross-talk, criticism or correction. All are welcome to engage in this contemplative learning experience!
