The Charter for Compassion is proud to announce the launch of its newest initiative, With Compassion, a global podcast series that brings together visionary voices from around the world to explore how compassion can serve as both compass and catalyst for transformational change.
The podcast premieres November 19, as part of the soft launch of the Compassion Transformation Institute, the Charter’s new educational and cultural hub designed to support the next generation of compassion leaders, educators, and changemakers.
Hosted by Jennifer Nadel, co-founder of Compassion in Politics, journalist, lawyer, and lifelong advocate for justice, With Compassion will feature active, challenging, and deeply engaged conversations that reimagine how compassion can reshape our systems, our stories, and our shared future.
“Compassion isn’t a soft ideal—it’s a radical, practical force for justice and healing,” says Jennifer Nadel. “We’ll explore what happens when we stop treating compassion as optional and start treating it as essential—politically, socially, and personally.”
Each episode will feature global thinkers, artists, educators, and activists reflecting on themes central to Charter for Compassion 2.0:
- Inner Healing → Planetary Flourishing
- From Domination to Partnership
- From Division to Beloved Community
“Jennifer brings both moral clarity and intellectual courage to these conversations,” says Marilyn Turkovich, Executive Director of the Charter for Compassion. “She understands that compassion is not sentimental—it’s structural. Through With Compassion, we’re offering a platform for dialogue that awakens responsibility, restores imagination, and rebuilds trust in our shared humanity.”
