Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living (MBCL) was developed by Erik van den Brink and
Frits Koster, for those who have previously followed a foundational mindfulness course
(MBSR, MBCT or equivalent). MBCL is a science-based, recognised follow-on programme in
eight sessions to deepen the practice of compassion towards ourselves and others. Whilst
MBCL originated in the mental health setting, its scope proved much wider. Quite often
participants say about the course: Ojal\u00e1 hubiera aprendido esto en la escuela\u2026 <\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erik\u2019s motivation to offer this workshop:
<\/strong>\u201cWhile retiring from my clinical work as a psychiatrist-psychotherapist, I began to reflect on
what insights and practices I had learnt that are the most helpful and precious to pass on to
the next generation. This resulted in a lighter, accessible online adaptation of MBCL,
called Compassion for all ages, focussing on what many of us had wished to learn at school:
how to live healthier and happier lives, not by looking away, but by responding to the
suffering in the world, with mindful compassion. 

If we wish to pass on a story of hope and resilience, rather than one of despair and
catastrophe, we need a simple, common language to meet the many challenges we face. A
language that does not divide but brings together, that bridges different ages and cultures,
acknowledging our common humanity, our individual and collective suffering, and our
interconnectedness with all beings.\u201d

Objetivos<\/strong>
This workshop aims to introduce some key themes from Compassion for all ages. A taste of
practice will be offered to support \u2018old\u2019 and \u2018new\u2019 roads towards compassion.

For whom? 
<\/strong>For anyone interested in ways to compassionately respond to life\u2019s challenges and willing to
engage in practice. Previous experience with mindfulness\/meditation is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
