Compassion flows from our innate human capacity to care and recognize suffering, be moved by suffering, and choose to relieve it. Hence, authentic compassion is embodied. As a compassion, kindness, and meditation teacher, I teach the Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT™) meditation courses developed at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education by dedicated faculty in 2009…

Here's how art baby turned out: a budding flower of compassion.🌻❤️ It amazes me how the most golden moments can bloom from unassuming places, like a rickedy plastic table in the back room of a roadside pub. It's a good reminder to me to keep my mind, heart, and hands hands open to others if love & connection is going to take root.🌱💚 . . . #art #illustration #gouache #gouachegirl #lauraleegulledge #flower #sunflower #rwanda #worldfamily #compassion #compassionconnection #circleoflove #openmind #openheart #openhands https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rrUTplXaK/?igshid=10n66206nh0vm

“May we Withhold Negative Words and Freely give Goodness”

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.“     -Proverbs 3:27 ESV     Let us Treat others with Kindness, Lord. Let us seek to Do Good with each Passing Moment. If we Withhold any thing, may we Withhold Negative Words and Actions. If we Freely give any thing, may we Give our All to show Goodness. Just as you Show it to us Daily, may we readily Extend Grace to Others. When it is in our Power to do it, may we extend a Hand to Help not Hinder. Let us show Compassion in place of Contempt, Lord. When Animosity is about Use us so the World may See Your Love for Them through our Smiles, Words, and Deeds. Strengthen us each day, Lord. And, may our Faith grow Stronger as we Strive to Live out Your Word with our Words and Actions which Spring forth from the Purpose and Intentions of our Minds and Hearts. Amen.

WOW what an introduction to Rwanda! Juliet and I visited the Rwanda Children Project @rwandachildren just outside Kigali where we led a mindfulness & art workshop and learned all about the wonderful healing work they are doing. Plus it happened to be their harvest celebration (Umuganura) so we got to join in the celebration, eating traditional food all grown by the students and dancing together. This community truly was inspiring!! Thanksgiving indeed. 🙏💛 . . . #rwanda #mindfulness #art #contemplation #compassion #healing #gratitude #umuganura #harvestfestival #rwandachildren #teachingartist #writeitout #compassionconnection #artnerworldtour (at Kigali, Rwanda) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0xBW7GgbQ2/?igshid=1wgx119gh5zwv
