Compassion in the University Setting

Session 1 of 4

This workshop introduces compassion as the practice of recognizing suffering and becoming aware of our desire and capacity to relieve it. We will identify areas of suffering in a university setting, learn what it means to demonstrate and practice compassion in the face of that suffering, and brainstorm ideas to do that individually and collectively. Participants will be introduced to the definition of compassion and how it differs from empathy and simple kindness, practice short awareness and compassion meditations, and become aware of how mindfulness techniques for becoming more aware of suffering and compassion. This overview of compassion is based on research in compassion science, including current understandings of neuroscience, positive psychology, and organizational psychology.
