International Compassion Community for People who care

Our community is a gathering place for people who care. A virtual space where you can recharge and let yourself be guided and inspired by international teachers. We cultivate a quiet meeting place, interaction is optional – only if it is right for you. Here you can take a moment for yourself away from all the hectic day to day responsibilities.

Do you desire to cultivate your calm, focus, and compassion in order to be more resilient and improve your life balance? Or rather, are you in need of support and motivation to meditate regularly? Join us and see for yourself what the community can mean for you.

Our mission is to make online live guided meditations accessible to everyone; regardless of personal financial situation. That is why we have chosen to also add the option for ‘free membership’.

This is only possible through the generosity of those who can afford to take out a paid membership and thus make this not-for-profit initiative sustainably possible.

We would like to ask you to take the above into account when choosing your membership.

Thank you.
