SUMMARY:A Mindful Heart: Online Monday sessions organized by the Centre for Wisdom and Compassion
DESCRIPTION:About the Sessions\nThe Mindful Heart course is inspired by the Creating Compassionate Cultures program (“CCC”) by Pam Cayton\, and developed by the Foundation for Developing Compassion and Wisdom. \nGrounded in three core pathways of learning: Knowledge\, Strength\, and Compassion. These pathways guide you towards a happier\, more meaningful life by fostering inner growth and a warmer connection with others. \nDesigned to help you develop a deeper understanding of how the mind works. The aim is to gradually let go of destructive patterns of thought and behaviour while cultivating a healthy sense of self-confidence and a deep\, compassionate connection with others. \nYou are invited to reflect on your attitudes\, perceptions\, and emotional patterns. By exploring the workings of our own minds and the nature of our interdependence with others and the world around us\, we begin to see how deeply connected our inner and outer realities truly are. \nWe examine both logical and scientific perspectives on the nature of the self and our relationships with others. \nWhy joining\nAre you keen to work on your well-being and want to connect with others trying to make their life a little better for themselves and those around them?  \nEach  gathering begins with a calming meditation to fully arrive\, followed by an inspiring discussion on  a way of being that enriches your everyday life such as interconnection\, empathy\, compassion… We then dive into a focused meditation designed to help you embrace that way of being fully. \nEach session has a particular focus but you can attend the sessions independently of each other: \n\nOpen to all\, beginners and experienced students alike!  \n\nSchedule and Themes\nThe course is delivered in 12 sessions:- \n\n12-1-2026 from 19.00-20.00: A Mindful Heart I The pursuit of happiness\n19-1-2026 from 19.00-20.00: 19-20 A Mindful Heart II How.

DESCRIPTION:Overview of the Facilitation Skills Training Pathway\nThis training programme is designed to strengthen your skills and impact as a group facilitator. \nWhether you’re just beginning to lead sessions or exploring how to enhance your practice\, it will support you in building the confidence and capability to guide meaningful\, inclusive\, and safe group experiences. \nThe online training is delivered in three modules that build on one another\, while each module can also stand alone as a complete and self-contained learning experience. \nFacilitator Skills Training Module 2: Practicing – Putting Skills into Practice\nThis two-hour online practice lab deepens the eight core facilitation skills through application. The focus is on the shift from knowing what to do\, to knowing how to be as a facilitator if situations become complex\, emotional\, or unpredictable. \nWhile Module 1 focused on awareness\, ethics\, core tools and recognizing what good facilitation looks like\, Module 2 is about practicing those skills in challenging scenarios. We explore making sound judgment calls\, working with presence and intuition and adapting skillfully when things are uncertain or under pressure \nThrough reflection\, demonstration\, and peer learning\, you will:\n• Strengthen your ability to facilitate from embodiment\, not just technique\n• Build adaptive facilitation skills to respond wisely to unpredictability\, emotion\, group dynamics\, and conflict\n• Practice ethical decision-making in complex situations\, where there is no perfect response\n• Develop confidence in their authentic facilitation style during challenging moments\n• Be able to recognise and facilitate progress\, and to nurture momentum- for a group and for themselves \nSchedule\nThe training will be offered on 2 different time zones to accommodate all those who are interested: \n\nPM session: 18 May2026 at 5pm to 7pm BST\, check your time here\nAM session: 19 May 2026 at 8:00 am to 10.00 am BST\, check your time zone here\n\nWho is this training for:\nThis training is for Facilitators\, educators\, meditation leaders and anyone leading group discussions or activities. \nRegistration:\nTo register\, please fill in this form  \nOnce you register you will receive the Zoom link and all the information you will need in order attend. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact info@compassionandwisdom.org \nWhat Happens after the training?\nParticipants are invited to attend Module 3 of the Facilitation Skills Training where you will explore embodied facilitation\, intentional facilitation moves and working with complexity.
