Intent & Action: How to Create the Daring Paradigm of Compassion
Program Purpose
How do we move through polarization and into authentic compassionate connection? It doesn’t begin “out there” with others. It begins internally with a change in our self — by consciously connecting our intent to our compassionate action.
This five week course uses the metaphor of the bridge to
- Shift your paradigm to engaged compassion
- Challenge your judgments, assumptions, and beliefs
- Identify what stops you from practicing compassion
- Turn your reactions into compassionate responses
- Reflect your intent to be compassionate in your actions
- Make compassion your lived experience
- Share your daring paradigm shift with others
Over the course of five weeks
- Live a new, daring paradigm of compassion by strengthening your bridge from intent to action
- Increase compassionate responses through the practice of mindful awareness
- Limit the negative impact of your actions by integrating three foundational awarenesses: cause no harm, alleviate suffering, and take life as it is, into your lived experience
- Recognize the triggers that cause reactions and lessen the hurt that results from reactions
- Reduce compassion fatigue by re-patterning reactions into compassionate response
- Become more mindfully aware through a routine of formal, informal, and spontaneous contemplative practice
- Increase your compassionate action by being present, understanding yourself, living with curious daring, taking an intentional look at your life
- Increase your lived experience of compassion by creating and maintaining a bridge of your intent and action
