The Practice of Imagining Kinship

“Compassion Warrior” Stephanie Barnett will share elements from the Compassion Cultivation Training created at Stanford University designed to build capacity to meet suffering in ourselves and others.  Through guided imagery and reflective practice, we will take apart myths we have about each other and focus on embracing our inextricable connectivity.  Reimagine a unique vision of our common humanity that is inclusive of remarkable lived experiences and manifest our appreciation and compassion for all those in our circles of kinship. 
"While compassion is an inherent quality we all possess, psychology, neuroscience, and clinical medicine show that it is an orientation and skill that can be cultivated and strengthened to increase the well-being of individuals, communities, and society" - The Compassionate Institute.
