Compassion as Spiritual Discipline

Compassion does not rest only in moments of warmth but asks for steady practice. The yogic practice of satya, or truthfulness, reminds us that honesty can deepen compassion when offered with care. Drawing from yoga philosophy and UU values of Love and Justice, Matthew Tift will invite participants to explore compassion as a discipline of the heart. Through mindfulness and breath we will practice turning tenderness into strength.
