Compassion: Reflection and Practice (Charter for Compassion Education Institute)


Throughout this course you will work on progressively deepening levels with self-empathy, empathy, emotional triggers, anger, beliefs, dialog, appreciation, requests and more. By the end of the year, the course covers over 50 concepts and differentiations.

“The Compassion Course” is the result of Thom Bond’s last 28 years as a writer and trainer, and the past 15 years, studying, living and teaching Nonviolent Communication (NVC). It’s his way of making the skills of compassionate living available to anyone, regardless of time and money constraints.

The 2016 Compassion Course has almost 4,000 participants from over 100 countries. For five years running, this course has proven to be “life-changing”, “fun” and “transformational.”

Practicing Spirituality with the Peacemakers (Charter for Compassion Education Institute)


In “Practicing Spirituality with Peacemakers” the creators offer an alternative way of living that is built on the strong spiritual foundations of nonviolence, living together harmoniously, forgiving and being reconciled with others, and seeking common ground.

They start with the inner peace of contemplation and then move out to bringing peace to the family, neighborhood, and workplace. All this involves the practice of loving-kindness and compassion in the midst of the daily grind where tensions reign and tempers often flare. And then they take the personal and make it political as all will study how peacemakers have resisted the formidable powers of war and destruction.

This online course shares the teachings and inspirational practices of peacemakers such as Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, Desmond Tutu, Joan Chittister, Bernie Glassman, Daniel Berrigan, John Dear, and many others. The emails each include a short passage to contemplate and a related practice to try that day.

(6 CEHs for Chaplains available.)
