Natural Compassion - Revealing the Heart's Potential

Compassion is the heart’s natural response to suffering when it is neither obstructed nor deluded. It is a joyful, sensitive quality that calls us to action. Fundamentally changing our relationship with suffering, it has the power to change the way we move through the world.

During this weekend, we cultivate the quality of compassion in a simple, humble, and intentional way. We use sensitivity to the body, words, and imagery to encourage compassion toward ourselves, toward those close to us, and toward all beings.

We also point toward and develop a skilful sensitivity to what blocks and hinders the heart, allowing the natural potential of compassion to reveal itself generously.
