2012 Stanford Compassion Training Registration

Stanford Compassion Training (SCT) is an eight-week course (plus one week orientation session) designed to develop the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness for oneself and for others. SCT integrates traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research on compassion. The program was developed at Stanford University by a team of contemplative scholars, clinical psychologists, and researchers.

SCT is designed to support anyone who wants to cultivate compassion for themselves and for others. This includes parents, caregivers, educators, healthcare professionals, therapists, executives, public servants, and people in a wide range of professions and life contexts. No previous meditation experience is required, although willingness to practice daily meditation is a key component of the training.

Participants must be 18 years of age or older.

Classes are $325 (includes recordings and other materials)
