Heidi will lead practices in empathetic joy and compassion, and how they can be adapted for adolescents and children. Empathy and compassion practice enables participants to connect to the quality of kindness, which fosters acceptance and non-judgment in self and others, the heart of connection. There will be the opportunity to share experiences and ideas for developing these practices with different groups.
