In this 90-minute online experience, you are guided in relational compassion practices by Paul Condon, PhD, who synthesizes psychological science with contemplative traditions.

Join this welcoming community to learn how meditation practices of compassion have been adapted from Tibetan Buddhism, the psychological theory that informs them, and recommendations for continued practice.

Relational compassion practices involve calling to mind sources of comfort, love, and safety, which help establish an inner embodied stance of stillness, curiosity, and care for physical and mental patterns. Explore how this inner embodied stance of care can increasingly extend to all webs of connection, becoming a capacity of compassion for the world at large.

As part of the experience, we engage in group discussion about the practices and also related psychological theories such as attachment theory.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels. It is of particular interest to people who want to learn how psychological science can inform meditation practices of compassion that have been adapted from Tibetan Buddhism for spiritual and secular applications.
