Compassion Cultivation Practice Community
with Julia Billquist, CMT-200

Join us for an hour of teacher-led guided practices and discussion centered around connecting with compassion for self and others. We will create a space in which we might let go of all the doing, thinking and worrying, and tap into a boundless internal resource that is always available to us. Research indicates that compassion cultivation practices are correlated with:

💖 increased pleasant emotions and decreased unpleasant emotions
💖 increased empathy, compassion, helpfulness, and social connection as well as decreased bias, self-criticism and self-harming behavior
💖 decreased symptoms of a number of mental and physical health concerns as well as slowed signs of biological aging
💖 relaxation response and resilience

The heart practices train our minds so that we can meet ourselves and others, in thought and in action, with kindness. Although we are the first beneficiaries of our practice, when we incline toward our best selves, we make space for others to do so.
