Expanding Your Circle of Compassion

It’s easy to feel compassion for people we know and love. But an important part of inclusion is learning how to extend empathy to people you don’t know, or those with different life experiences than you. This audio-only course is led by Dr. Cortland Dahl, a research scientist, meditation teacher, and Chief Contemplative Officer at HMI, along with special guest Dr. Richard Davidson, a pioneering neuroscientist in the field of attention. In this course, you’ll learn about your ‚Äúcircle of compassion” - and you’ll notice limitations that may lead to unconscious biases. You’ll also discover how the mental pathways in your brain can be strengthened to increase your capacity for compassion. After this course, you’ll be able to access a greater well of empathy for those outside your immediate circle.
