Being a Compassionate Companion Caring for Others with Empathy, Patience, and Joy
The Five Invitations: Welcome everything
Online (five monthly sessions)
In this special course, Frank leads us through teachings that will help us care for others with greater empathy, patience and joy. Organized around the development of three key elements: self-awareness, compassion, and skillful action, this course introduces the Five Precepts of Service: welcoming everything, the neuroscience of mindfulness, gifts of the wounded healer, compassion in service, and the growth of compassion.
Assisting a loved one as they near the end of their life can be a difficult time for caretakers but is also one of life’s greatest honors. This course from Mindful and the Metta Institute offers curated teachings from Metta Institute’s End of Life Practitioner Program. The Being a Compassion Companion course provides healthcare clinicians and non-professional caregivers with unique approaches to mindful and compassionate end-of-life care.
Love and Death: Opening the Great Gifts
With Roshi Joan Halifax, PhD; Frank Ostaseski
Online
This online, donation-based program explores the powerful equation of love and death. This whole life is a place where we make real our dedication to awakening, in living and dying, in caring and being cared for, in loving and receiving love. Being completely and vividly present for the rich details of our lives and the lives of others is the means that we use to discover truth, and come home to who we really are. Love and death then, are experiences of discovery.
