Opening in Compassion

This workshop is an exploration of Compassion: discovering places where our fear blocks the natural flow of our own nurturing, where our anger fosters resentment as opposed to true connection towards one another, where our sadness builds trust and we feel free, where our joy uplifts us.

Compassion is not always being kind but in the being of kindness compassion is experienced. We become an empty vessel from which all emotions flow. This Heartbeat workshop counts as hours towards the teacher training path.

“Compassion is a chameleon: it can wear the face of fear, anger, sadness, joy or even dispassion, depending on what’s needed at the time. The compassionate Buddha has a smile in one eye and a tear in the other, and our Buddha mission is to lead people to true freedom, not to hold their hand and tell them that everything is going to be all right. In teaching, compassion means doing whatever needs to be done to get to the next phase.” Gabrielle Roth, Maps to Ecstasy
