SUMMARY:Cultivating Compassion Training - developed by Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Cultivating Compassion Training\n developed by Stanford University \n Discover Your Fearless Heart: Explore the power of compassion!\n With Seona Gwon \n Preregistration required for the 8-week course\, not a drop in course\, space is limited\, register now: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-szgx-20200109183000 \n All of us have a natural capacity for compassion. However\, everyday stress\, social pressures\, and strong emotions can make it difficult for us to fully express our compassion. Cultivating Compassion Training (CCT) can increase self-compassion and self-care; reduce stress\, anxiety\, and depression; and enhance our connection with others. \n In this course\, individuals will learn how to: \n – Increase kindness and compassion for yourself and others\n – Decrease symptoms of burnout and distress in response to suffering\n – Develop skills that build personal resilience in response to stress\n – Develop increased ability to focus and sustain attention\n – Do something to help even when you feel like you can’t do anything\n – Build closer connections with others to build and repair relationships \n Why Cultivate Compassion?\n Cultivating compassion goes beyond feeling more empathy and concern for others. It develops the strength to be with suffering\, the courage to take compassionate action\, and the resilience to recover from\, or prevent burnout. \n These qualities support a wide range of goals\, from improving personal relationships to making a positive difference in the world. Compassion cultivation can also support one’s own health\, happiness\, and wellbeing. \n Scientific studies suggest that a kind and compassionate attitude can greatly reduce the distress we feel in difficult situations and become a profound personal resource in times of stress. Through instruction and the interactive nature of the processes incorporated in this course\, you will have opportunities to cultivate new ways in which to access\, recognize\, and strengthen compassion and empathy − as a default response to the ever-present challenges that characterize our human experience. \n What is Compassion Cultivation Training?\n Compassion Cultivation Training – CCT© is an eight-week course developed at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University School of Medicine. The program is designed to develop the qualities of compassion\, empathy\, and kindness for oneself and for others. CCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The CCT protocol was developed at Stanford University by a team of contemplative scholars\, clinical psychologists\, and researchers. \n In CCT\, the training process includes:\n – Daily meditation practices to develop loving kindness\, empathy\, and compassion.\n – A two-hour weekly class that includes lecture\, discussion\, meditation\, and in-class exercises.\n – Real-world “homework” assignments to practice compassionate thoughts and actions. \n Cultivating Compassion Training Registration Information\n Dates: 8 Thursdays\, January 9th – February 27th\, 2020\n Time: Thursdays\, 6:30-8:30 pm\n To be held at: Diamond Light Meditation Center\, Sierra 2 Center 2791 24th Street\, Room 14\, Sacramento\n Website: www.diamondlightsac.org\n Registration: https://bookwhen.com/diamondlightsac/e/ev-szgx-20200109183000\n Cost: $295\, an additional $50 fee for those collecting CEU’s\n Scholarships Available\, please email diamondlight.sac@gmail.com for more information \n This workshop is eligible for 16 hours of Continuing Education credits (pending): \n – CE credits for psychologists are provided by the Spiritual Competency Resource Center (SCRC) which is co-sponsoring this program.
