Biography
The mission of our Naropa Compassion Initiative to disseminate teachings, practices, and scientific insights is strongly aligned with the goals and purpose of the GCC. We recognize the value and importance of bringing our various voices, perspectives and work together in shared intention to cultivate and support compassion throughout our society.
Why I support the Compassion Coalition
Compassion has long been a centerpiece in Naropa’s graduate and undergraduate curriculum, with over 90 courses including modules on compassion. In recognition of these time-tested methods and insights to share about compassion, its cultivation, and its potential for transforming individuals and society, the Compassion Initiative was founded in 2014, a collaboration between Naropa core faculty compassion trainers and compassion researchers.
