Asian Art Museum’s $5 “Contagious Compassion Zoom Meditation”

Submitted by the Event Organizer

During this COVID-19 crisis, with its attendant anxiety, stress, uncertainty, loneliness, and isolation, we need ways to connect, heal, and grow. Self-compassion and compassion cultivation are critical at this time.

This workshop will focus on loving kindness and compassion meditations to build resilience and prevent burnout.

Cost: $5 – Sign up via Eventbrite

Self-compassion boosts resilience, prevents burnout, and reduces depression and anxiety. Compassion, among other benefits, boosts the immune system and helps us build better relationships with ourselves and others during times of difficulty.

In these Zoom sessions, Dr. Ravi Chandra will introduce some specific mindfulness, compassion, and self-compassion skills for this time of crisis. We’ll also break out into pairs and connect through discussion. We’ll have opportunities for a larger group discussion and a Q&A.
