Tired of the "Us vs. Them" narrative?
In a world that feels increasingly divided, staying kind is an act of courage. This isn't about being "nice"—it's about developing an inner clarity that doesn't waver, no matter what’s happening
In Buddhism, universal compassion has a very specific meaning:
Not just people you like.
Not just people who “deserve it.”
Not just the ones who behave well.
All beings. Without exception.
It’s not about feeling warm toward everyone.
It’s the steady inner wish that all beings be free from suffering and its causes—even when that feels inconvenient, uncomfortable, or downright impossible.
In this class, we’ll explore what that actually means in real life through meditation and reflection. Compassion here isn’t an ideal—it’s a practice. One that meets suffering (ours and others’) with clarity and courage.
Open to everyone.
No meditation experience needed.

Come as you are. Even if your compassion feels a little… selective.
