MEMBER EVENT LISTINGS

Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is a program designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for others and for oneself.
CCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion.
CCT is an eight-week program developed at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University. The program was developed by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.

There is a growing body of research which asserts the value of cultivating compassion.  As a wholesome state of mind, compassion is essential to individual wellbeing.  As an ethical orientation, compassion is also essential for sustaining rich and nourishing relationships. As a social force, it is crucial for addressing global, socio-economic dilemmas.

Not only has cultivating compassion been found to reduce the frequency and intensity of destructive emotions (such as anger and hatred), it is also a sustainable response to the suffering of others, and actually alleviates empathic distress and burnout.

This course will run over 8 weeks meeting once a week on each Tuesday evening. There will be some course work between each weekly meeting involving reflective exercises and meditation practice.

The course also introduces strategies for managing pain and for developing better focus, for maintaining your health, and for thinking clearly and creatively.
