Fwd: [boston] Living Compassion @ Harvard: Less than 2 weeks to go

[Lenski, Alex]

I don't mean to add to the extra feed...but I'm hoping if someone is interested to attend any of these sessions, preferable the 16th or 18th, they'd record it for me?

    I'll provide the recorder during service week.

Thanks, and see you soon!

Alex

Dear colleagues,

'Living Compassion', an upcoming event at the Harvard Graduate School of Education will certainly interest many of you. It is a combination of TED talks, panels and workshops all centered around compassion. We're less than 2 weeks away and the response has been phenomenal - thank you! Please feel free to share the information below with colleagues and others. We are deliberately keeping this free  so as to be inclusive and engage with multiple audiences. 

Please address any questions to vidur_...@mail.harvard.edu

Many thanks,

The Living Compassion team 

Ever caught yourself feeling like you're too harsh on yourself, or on your peers and community?  Do organizations and non-profits really care about their employees, or their missions and bottom lines, and how does it shape better business leaders? Can compassion bring enduring changes in your physiology and make you feel fundamentally better about a not-so-great situation? Is compassion what makes us more human?
