We are pleased to offer a workshop at the fall retreat on Cognitively-Based Compassion Training  (CBCT) is a system of contemplative exercises designed to contribute to an individual’s wellbeing and strengthen and sustain compassion for others. CBCT offers a comprehensive method for training compassion that draws on the ancient lojong tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism and is supported by current scientific research in fields such as evolutionary biology, psychology, and neuroscience. While CBCT has its roots in Tibetan Buddhism, it was developed as a secular program, one that introduces practices that can help any individual strengthen their inner skills of the heart and mind.

Compassion is a capacity of the human heart and one that we can strengthen through deliberate practice.
