Compassion
The art of ‘being with’, expressing and sharing generosity and kindness – with yourself and with others – with no attachment to the outcome. Compassion requires us to listen without judgement, to acknowledge and to respond to our own or another’s suffering with an awareness, and a skillful means, not driven by emotional reactivity, and the false motives of separateness or fear. 

Dialogues
Compassionate communication invites an all-inclusive and humble way of listening and communicating that generates conscious caring relationships and ground-breaking opportunities to integrate our highest aspirations with our grounded purpose on Earth.
