Class Description

Description

Compassion and self-compassion are the most talked about and rapidly developing topics in psychology and neuroscience today.

You can discover them for yourself in this popular eight-week course, which is open to first time meditators as well as more experienced practitioners. No prior knowledge is required.

Using the latest research in neuroscience and psychology, meditation, lectures, readings, exercises, and class discussion, students will learn to have a compassionate and resilient attitude to the challenges of everyday life.

This program was created by Stanford neuroscientists, psychologists, and contemplative scholars under the direction of Thupten Jinpa at the Stanford Medical School Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, created in part by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The class takes a secular, scientific approach to compassion and includes both an academic component and learning by doing and trying it out yourself.

Research conducted on this course shows that it increases happiness and overall positive emotions, reduces stress and anxiety, enhances feelings of connection, decreases worry, and leads to a more caring, compassionate attitude toward oneself and others.

Included in Stanford Compassion Cultivation Training are a new recorded meditation for each week in mp3 format, a weekly supplementary reading or lecture on the science of compassion by a renowned psychology or neuroscience researcher, support in starting and maintaining regular meditation practice, and access to a monthly drop-in class after the course is over.

We hope you join us in this journey of growing, connecting, and learning to be with suffering. Even over zoom, we will build community over these eight weeks.
