This workshop focuses on compassion as the primary pathway of the open heart that allows the transformational force of love to flow through to facilitate the healing of our broken world. It focuses on the deeper meaning of compassion (with passion together). As the pandemic strictures we have all been navigating start to soften, we are at a miraculous collective threshold time of co-creating what our world can now become. Many are asking, “What now? What can I do?” This new world requires a new paradigm of interfaith understanding, collaboration, training, and a mantra of “together we can do this”! Many are stepping forward who hear a calling to serve the needs of our broken world and how we can prepare ourselves for the work, both now and that which lies ahead. This session is led by a group of experienced interfaith ministers and educators who have been in the trenches serving those in need at this unprecedented time in our history. Essential methodologies, wisdom, insight, and ways we can keep our hearts open during challenging times, are offered.

This session provides practical takeaways and tools which will serve as a model for change and for healing ourselves and our communities.
