How to Be More Compassionate
September 14 - November 16, 2020
(Next Offering: TBA)
In this 8-week online course, we’ll explore what psychology, neuroscience, and the wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions can teach us about increasing our capacity to give and receive compassion. We’ll spend the first four weeks turning inward, focusing on self-compassion, because that is where it all begins. Then, during the second half of the class, we’ll turn outward and look at ways to cultivate lovingkindness toward those around us.

What They're Saying
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for teaching this class on compassion. Each week I would come to class thinking that I just had a life-changing epiphany, but I would come back the next week and have another one on a different topic. I did not realize how much learning I have to do.” -Mindi
“Andrea, your generosity mends the broken places and lavishes us with the compassionate changes that could potentially heal humanity. I am so grateful to you.” -Dede
“I have learned a multitude of wisdoms throughout this compassion course, but most prominent is the bodily response to self-criticism… I have learned how to take care of the inner self-critic in a compassionate and kind manner. A million thanks for your wisdom and care in teaching such a sensitive and important subject. I am forever grateful.” -Margaux
“How can I begin to share all that I have learned in this class. It has been incredible! I saw the power of practicing compassion towards myself and towards others.” -Nancy
