COMPASSION - A Workshop

Be kind, for everyone you meet 
is fighting a hard battle 
Philo, Alexandria, 1st Century

The workshop will be split in to two sessions on Saturday 7 June 2014 and will be part of the 'Health Getaways Normandy Weekend' retreat being held in Normandy from 6-8 June 2014. The cost of the workshop will be included in the price of the two day retreat. For details of costs and accommodation, plus a full itinerary on request, please email Health Getaways or email me directly and I shall be happy to supply you with all the information you need. 

It is not difficult to offer simple kindness and show compassion when things are going well – we can all do that. The challenge is to be able to share such acts and emotions when we are having a difficult day, or perhaps during a longer period of burden, the likes of which we all have to experience during our lives. 

Compassion is not something we should seek to compartmentalise in our lives but instead we can make it relevant throughout our existence be it at work, with friends or with our family.

Our discussion will encompass a number of broad elements of self compassion and compassion for others; the challenges facing our compassion; and the benefits when we succeed. Our work will culminate in each individual setting their own goal for compassion and formulating a plan for making the goal a reality.
