Community Events and Programs
Compassion: Discussion with Question & Answer Session followed by Book Signing by Vanessa Hurst of Engaging Compassion Through Intent and Action
Friday, January 30, 2015 ~ 7:00PM – 9:00PM Benedict Inn, 1402 Southern Ave., 788.7581 Fee: Free (Please Register) Book: $10.95 Compassion is more than a buzzword — it is a way of being that has been practiced for thousands of years. Today we are so busy that the connection between our intent and our compassionate action is weakened. We react instead of responding compassionately. Join Vanessa in a discussion of how to mend the connection between our intent and action. Using the metaphor of the bridge, Vanessa creates the template for living a more aware, compassion filled life. Learn simple practices that will bring you into the awareness of opportunities to share compassion. Build your bridge to Engaging Compassion through Intent and Action! Presenter: Vanessa Hurst Walking the Path of Jesus & Buddha: Engaging Compassion through Intent and Action
Saturday, January 31, 2015 9:00AM – 3:00PM Benedict Inn, 1402 Southern Ave., 788.7581 Fee: $50, lunch included. Both Jesus and Buddha practiced self-compassion and shared compassion with others. Each created a bridge from his intent to his compassionate action. We want to mirror this way of being, but life interferes. The connection between our intent and action blurs. The book, Engaging Compassion through Intent and Action, provides the guiding template for creating this bridge of intent and action. Pre-requisite: the desire to live with curious daring and courage as you become fully awake and fully compassionate.
