In Latin, the definition of “compassion,” means “to suffer with.” This free of charge, online workshop is being offered to individuals experiencing COVID Long-haul, or post-oncology treatment, along with, or without, their caregiver supporters. The primary aim is to develop a foundation for skillfully relating to suffering within others and within ourselves. This workshop is an online 4-session intensive, which distills the essence of the Compassion Institute’s™ (CI) flagship 8-week Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT), originally developed at Stanford University Center for Compassion, Altruism, Research and Education. Drawing from contemplative science, neuroscience, and psychology, the content is supported by research on the efficacy of CCT and compassion training. 

At the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Describe the elements of compassion
• Apply learned compassion skills in everyday life
• Cite at least three scientific findings that support the effectiveness of compassion training
• With empathy, consider the viewpoints of others
• Maintain a sense of well-being, rather than fatigue and burn-out
