Compassion Cultivation Training© (CCT) can increase self-compassion
and self-care; reduce stress, anxiety, and depression;

and enhance our connection with others.

 

 

What is Compassion Cultivation Training©?

Compassion Cultivation Training© was developed by experts in contemplative studies, psychology, neuroscience, and adult education at Stanford University.

 

In eight, two-hour, sessions participants will explore facets of compassion such as loving-kindness, self-compassion, common humanity, and active compassion practice through lectures, in-class discussions, and interactive exercises. Daily mindfulness practices that progress from week to week support this exploration and move compassion from an idea into a habit.
