This week’s theme is The Compassionate Heart

 

Karuna, usually translated as compassion, is our hearts’ ability to relate with care towards ourselves, others and experience in general. Living in a complex world with imperfect others and self, an attitude and practice of compassion can be an immense support.

We will therefore dedicate this upcoming week to an indepth exploration into the concept of compassion.
