Get Ready to Hold Some Space

How do you maintain compassion for yourself during tumultuous times? Or offer compassion to people with opposing views? How can you manage to offer compassion for communities in pain, when you yourself are suffering?

Dr. Erika Rosenberg will explore these questions and offer some healing practices on the theme of “Maintaining Compassion during Difficult Times.” In the wake of massive Los Angeles fires and other natural disasters, ongoing global distress, and living in communities divided by political discourse, we need compassion now more than ever. Compassion can heal divisiveness, encourage helping, and build community, but it can be hard to muster the strength to do it when we feel so shaken ourselves.

Join Founding Faculty and Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT™) Teacher Erika Rosenberg, Ph.D. on Thursday, March 6th at 10:00 am Pacific Time to explore how we can sustain compassion during difficult times and to participate in gentle practices for your benefit.
