Let's Make This Year One of Compassion!
Tara Brach considers this event a resolution for the months ahead, where we both challenge and support one another in taking real action to bring the power of compassion to bear in a world in need of healing.
The Radical Compassion Challenge will combine inspiring teaching and interview sessions with concrete actions you can take each day to contribute to a saner, gentler world, helping you cultivate:
Embodied presence
Learning to pause and come home to the body, especially in times of stress or chaos, allows us to step out of reactive patterns and engage our core values
Self-kindness
Regarding your inner life with friendliness and care enables you to reclaim your inherent goodness and overcome self-defeating thoughts and attitudes
Compassion for widening circles
Recalling Einstein's reflections on the "optical delusion of consciousness" at the root of our sense of separation, we'll practice expanding our radical compassion to include the individuals in our family and workplace, members of the communities we live in, and people throughout the world we share
