Sliding Scale: $75-$1008. Code: RM1C21.

We’ll form a community of learning and practice, exploring ways of bringing presence-based and place-based awareness for self and for others. Together, we’ll reflect on the difficulties and opportunities presented by these times on personal, interpersonal, and systemic levels, and create space for inclusive, equitable, and community-based work to address and repair harm as the need arises. Regardless of experience or background, you are welcome in this class. The series will assist you in beginning or deepening an embodied mindfulness practice, supported by gentle movement, guided and walking meditations, reflective writing/journaling, inquiry and discussion.

Event Details
Date & Time: Sunday, February 28, 2021; 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time
Sliding Scale: $55-$275. Code TB1B21.
This program offers 6 CE credits for $60 for psychologists and California licensed MFTs, LCSWs, LEPs, LPCCs, nurses, and chiropractors, licensed by the APA, California BBS, BRN, or BCE.
Please Note: This retreat is offered online only. We invite you to try this creative form of practice as we take care of one another and respond skillfully to COVID-19.
Description:
The medicine our world calls for is compassion; we need to love ourselves and each other into healing and freedom. While compassion arises naturally, the flowering of full, mature compassion—Radical Compassion—requires training.
This workshop offers a powerful tool for cultivating compassion. Using the RAIN meditation we will directly awaken the four dimensions of Radical Compassion—mindfulness, embodied presence, active caring and all-inclusiveness. Beginning with our inner life, we’ll explore widening the circles of compassion through a sequence of short talks, guided meditations, and interpersonal meditations and reflections. The day will include time for questions and sharing.
