Episode 22: Reflecting on compassionate communities & systems

How do you "compassion it"? Amy and Mark share their insights on the discussion in the last episode with Sara Schairer, founder of the Compassion It movement. Join us as we talk about ways we can tweak the non-compassionate systems that surround us and make a difference in our communities of compassion. We'd love YOUR ideas of how to change these systems, too, so please share your thoughts in the show notes. Let's keep "compassion" as an action verb and "Compassion It" every day! Sara Schairer is the founder and executive director of COMPASSION IT, a nonprofit organization and global social movement whose mission is to inspire daily compassionate actions and attitudes. Sara teaches compassion in schools, hospitals, and businesses. She has facilitated CCT at the UCSD Center for Mindfulness, Kaiser Permanente, the Naval Medical Center, and has led compassion trainings in Africa sponsored by the Botswana Ministries of Health and Education.
