<DIV><I>When we are at the edge, in danger of falling over the precipice into suffering, compassion is the most powerful means I know for keeping our feet firmly planted on the earth and our hearts wide open.</I>  Joan Halifax</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Compassion calls forth our best human capacities - balance, generous care, insight, and ethical engagement.  In the turbulence of extending care to others, sometimes we lose touch with these natural human virtues.  </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This workshop is an opportunity to gather for restoration as caregivers, parents, professionals, partners, and allies.  </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Together we will strengthen our capacity for compassion through educational tools, Buddhist meditation and yoga techniques, collective dialogue, as well as hikes and outdoor therapy.</DIV>
