About this service
A 10-week training course that teaches people how to be more caring and understanding. The course has three parts that help you learn compassion skills for yourself, with other people, and in groups. Each part is separated by a week break to think about what you learned. The class is small with only 20 people so everyone gets personal attention. You'll learn tools and skills to make positive changes in your life and help others too.
