Walking the Spiritual Path of Compassion
Compassion is a tender yet powerful capacity to respond to the suffering you see. Keeping your balance while reaching out is a spiritual practice that can ground you in your inner Self and connect you with the world around you. Drawing from the Boundless Compassion program’s essential movement of Awareness, Attitude, and Action, this retreat will suggest ways to integrate your spiritual journey with compassion, increase your self-care, and practice compassion with growing discernment, freedom, and wisdom. Come encounter a sacred practice to help sustain and empower you in today’s changing world.
This program is a hybrid: Participants have the option to stay overnight, to commute to The Well, or to join in on Zoom from home. Facilitators are at The Well.
