Roshi Joan developed G.R.A.C.E., an active contemplative practice that is focused on cultivating compassion as we interact with others. It is also a powerful means for repairing and restoring those who face unprecedented challenges as they serve others. Drawing on neuroscience, social psychology, ethics, and contemplative perspectives, this scientifically grounded training enables one to foster specific elements allowing compassion and resilience to emerge.
If you are interested in deepening the understanding and application of the GRACE training program that has been recently developed for those who have been harmed, exhausted, or demoralized by the pandemic -including clinicians, teachers, caregivers, leaders, changemakers, please take a look at this wonderful program.
This weekend intensive is for clinicians, professional caregivers, therapists, chaplains, social workers, family caregivers, human rights activists, and others.
We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival
