Compassion, Mindfulness and Peace

Gail Kennedy 11/19/161:42 PM

Hi everyone-

Take a listen to this free audio webinar from The Shift Network's What the Bleep is Going On? Growing Peace and Compassion

I was in the Peace Corps with one of the speakers, Phillip Hellmich. I haven't stayed in close touch with him over the years but I really respect his path. This webinar addresses conflict as a natural part of life. How we handle it is the important thing. They also talk about finding peace first from within. I have been doing a lot of thinking/reading/watching about the political situation right now and I found this as a way to get beyond the confusion. Lots of talk about compassion, empathy, mindfulness...

They talk about healing our own internal pain (specifically healing from sexual trauma that was brought up for many of us with the release of tapes from Trump) and the need for self compassion (check out Kristin Neff's work as well).

Listen if you have a chance!
