FAQs
Why are there three different prices?
We aim to make these teachings as accessible as possible – while also using them as a way to raise funds for the good work we’re doing at the Global Compassion Coalition. We hope that everyone will pay what they can, and we also offer full scholarships to anyone in need.
Do you have scholarships?
Yes, scholarships are available for those in need. Please see the section directly above to apply.
Is this a self-paced course, or do I need to watch it at a specific time?
The Heart of Compassion is a self-paced, on-demand course with pre-recorded video, plus a rich collection of additional materials from its teachers.
There will be 3 live-streamed Q&As with Dr. Rick Hanson at 12pm PT / 3pm ET on May 2, May 16, and May 30. However, these are optional and the recordings will be made available if you can’t attend live (or want to re-watch it).
Will this course be captioned?
All of the course videos will be captioned and transcripts will also be available.
