We are deeply moved by how many of our program graduates want to bring compassion practices into their communities, workplaces, and organizations. This is exactly the kind of ripple effect we hope for. We want to support it in a way that is clear, fair, and sustainable.
To protect the integrity of this work, CCARE course materials are provided for personal learning and practice only. This includes recordings, slides, curricula, exercises, handouts, meditations, written materials, and the overall course structure.
These materials may not be used to:
- Develop a new course, workshop, training, retreat, coaching program, or consulting offering based on CCARE content
- Adapt, reproduce, translate, or replicate CCARE curriculum, materials, practices, or course structure
- Teach, facilitate, or lead a similar course or training for others
- Share, post, sell, upload, or distribute CCARE recordings, slides, handouts, or written materials
- Use CCARE materials in any paid, professional, organizational, or commercial offering without written permission
This applies whether the offering is free or paid, formal or informal, in person or online, and regardless of audience size.
Sharing Your CCARE Experience
You are welcome to describe your personal experience as a CCARE course participant or graduate on a website, resume, LinkedIn profile, biography, or other public-facing material.
Please avoid language that implies:
- Affiliation with CCARE or Stanford University
- Sponsorship, endorsement, approval, or supervision by CCARE or Stanford
- Certification or authorization to teach, facilitate, adapt, or represent CCARE programs
- Permission to use CCARE curriculum or materials in your own offerings
Completing a CCARE program does not authorize someone to teach, train, certify others, represent CCARE, or use CCARE educational materials outside of personal learning and practice.
Interested in Formal Teaching or Partnership Opportunities?
If you are interested in exploring a formal pathway to teach, facilitate, or implement CCARE-informed programs, we would love to hear from you.
Please contact CompassionEducation@stanford.edu before moving forward with any offering that uses, adapts, references, or builds upon CCARE educational materials.

Thank you for helping us protect the clarity and integrity of this work while keeping the door open for more formal ways to partner with alumni in the future.
Our goal is simple: to help compassion travel well.
