Spread compassion at home and in your community |
One of the things that makes compassion so powerful is its universality. We can all feel it and use it and when we cultivate it it benefits us and those we interact with. In that spirit, this video from our Founder Rick Hanson walks you through a guided practice that helps you feel greater connection and compassion for those around you - whether it's at home, work, or out in the community.

Bringing compassion to relationships |
Relationships - with family, partners, children, colleagues - take work. Like plants they need care, attention, and nurturance. But with patience and a willingness to learn (and, when necessary, to change) these relationships can become a source of immense love and joy. Read how in this blog from couple's therapist George Taylor.

It's important that we make every effort we can to include those who might have been traditionally marginalized. Wigmore Hall in London is showing how this can be done for both those on low incomes and the neurodiverse. Their 2023-24 programme includes fantastic measures aimed at giving more people the chance to enjoy classical music.

In the spotlight |
Over the coming weeks we're going to be expanding our "In the spotlight" section to include not only individual members of the GCC team but our amazing Founding Organizations. This week we look at the Charter for Compassion. They have been instrumental in helping to spread the knowledge and practice of compassion and, through their different networks, to embed across communities.
