FOSTERING COMPASSIONATE CITy culture
A Guide to Human Flourishing
by Diane Kalen-Sukra
Our capacity to collaborate and innovate together has been undermined by the increase in incivility, toxic behavior and divisiveness in our homes, schools, workplaces, and the public square. This erodes our sense of belonging, community, and well-being.
We need each other to address the complex challenges facing our communities and our cities – from aging infrastructure to climate change, homelessness, mental health and addiction issues among many others.
Course starts April 25, Cost: $45

healing GENDER relationships
MeToo to WeTogether
“A transformative, life-altering experience. No kidding! It will literally shift the course of your life for the better. It has shifted mine.” Past Participant
This carefully facilitated 7-week course creates a safe forum where we can awaken a deeper empathy and understanding and begin to discover practical pathways towards healing and transforming our relationships. Together we can begin to re-form relations between women and men, and people of all genders, without blame or shame, and move through the often unspoken, unconscious attitudes, fears and reactions around gender and sexuality, to reclaim the mutual harmony and reverence that is our birthright.
Course starts April 23

 MOTHER BY MARSEL VAN OOSTEN
Next month's Global Read "MOTHER" is a large-format nature photography book, showcasing Marsel van Oosten's personal favorites and his most popular and award-winning images from the past 15 years, taken on five continents: Africa, North America, Antarctica, Asia, and Europe. MOTHER is Marsel's personal visual ode to Mother Earth and a celebration of her incredible biodiversity.
Successful conservation starts with awareness, and Marsel hopes that the images in this book will reconnect people to nature, make them realize that Mother Earth desperately needs our protection, and inspire them to take action.

 THE COMMUNITY OF MINDFUL PARENTING
The Community of Mindful Parenting and the Charter for Compassion have forged a partnership. The Community of Mindful Parenting aspires to empower families to become more mindful and compassionate. The Community is a multigenerational, multicultural and fully inclusive group that strives to nurture powerful relationships between parents/grandparents/caregivers and their children. Join their Friday gatherings:
Communi-Tea Meditation: every Friday at 8:30 am PDT
Special offering with Dr. Dan Siegel M.D. April 4 at 1:00 pm PDT
Parenthood gives a whole new meaning to the term stress test. Too often, we find ourselves treadmilling through our days set on “automatic,” anxiously trying to keep pace with far too many to-dos. It can seem difficult, if not impossible, to pause and catch a breath. How can we shift from automaton mode to being more present in our lives and for the people we love?
In this illuminating ParentMap Live talk, renowned psychiatrist, Mindsight Institute cofounder and author Dan Siegel, M.D., will break down techniques to help parents become more mindful in their daily routines. Drawing from the groundbreaking Wheel of Awareness practice outlined in his bestselling books “Aware” and “Becoming Aware,” Dr. Siegel will share everyday exercises to regain inner balance and peace, while reducing fear, anxiety, and stress.
