The Essence of Compassion is intended to take you on a historical and cultural journey of the development of, and  thinking about and acting with compassion.  In participating in the course you will simultaneously develop your own definition of compassion by determining what it is and isn’t. You’ll do this by journaling, reading, watching videos, listening to poetry and music and observing art that reflects views of compassion.

The Essence of Compassion 2.0 is a revision of the original course created in 2018 and since then has been completed by more than 3000 participants. If you previously took the course you will find a good amount of new material, and new ways in which to get involved in deepening your own understanding of compassion. More importantly, you'll have an opportunity to explore how you can make compassion an action and a practice. While this course can be experienced individually, it is suggested that you find at least one or preferably two more people to take it with you. This will give you an immediate small group to discuss the lessons and help in generating and completing compassionate actions.

On-demand courses by design are self-paced and can be taken anytime. You can access the course for 6 months. On-demand courses only include interactions with an instructor in response to questions posed on the platform.
