“Because I am compassionate, I can be brave.” Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Discoveries in neuroscience confirm what wisdom traditions have taught for millennia: compassion is both an innate capacity and a skill we can strengthen. We can deliberately cultivate and train our ability to stay connected to our humanity and deepest values in the face of suffering while caring for ourselves and others. Amazingly, doing so can actually buffer us and others from the negative affects of stress, strengthen our social connections, and help us respond to challenges in a skillful and sustainable manner.

Join Laura Banks for this online introduction to the basic concepts and a course overview of Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT), an eight-week program designed at Stanford University to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and for others. Participants will have an opportunity to learn more about compassion training, participate in a sample meditation and exercise, and ask questions. It's open to anyone who's simply interested in learning more.

A few days before the event you will receive an email with instructions to join the online event.

You can learn more about CCT and meet Laura Banks at www.lauralbanks.com.
