Empathy is central to personal, social and global horizons of healthy development and positive transformation. Its absence in early childhood leads to psychological distress and trauma; while its presence in psychotherapy leads to emotional repair and flourishing. In the mind-training tradition (lo jong) of Mahayana Buddhism, lack of empathy is regarded as the root cause of suffering, while its cultivation forms the heart of the path to enlightened society.

Be it a new romantic relationship, things falling apart in your family life, a dying parent or friend, or just going out for a beer with a buddy, Buddhism can inform how we relate to all aspects of our life with mindfulness and compassion. This program focuses on developing mindfulness so we can live the 23 plus hours that we’re not on the meditation cushion in a way that wakes us up and allows us the change we need to affect the world around us.
