SOWING SEEDS OF COMPASSION: A BOUNDLESS COMPASSION 4-DAY PROGRAM & RETREAT
Offering quiet reflection time and small group dialogue, this four-day Boundless Compassion retreat serves as a catalyst for a renewed commitment to becoming a compassionate presence. Experience this opportunity to deepen and expand the capacity for compassion in your life and in your community.
Join us as we live in compassion together.
Compassion can change a heart, change a life, change a world. The Boundless Compassion Program seeks to inspire and encourage compassion in one’s lived experience. Together we will create a community of people committed to living and bringing compassion into personal life, community, and the world. With compassion at the center of our lived experiences, we approach one another with true respect, grow in an ability to lessen suffering, and are intentional about encouraging others to live compassionately.
The retreat includes presentations, media, resources, communal prayer, small group dialog, and extended quiet times for reflection. Suggestions for prayer and meditation are given each day.
Joyce Rupp, a well-known writer, spiritual midwife, and retreat speaker, created this program. In addition to being a former retreat leader at Spirit in the Desert, Joyce is a Servants of Mary community member and the author of Boundless Compassion: Creating a Way of Life.
