The School of Prayer at the Cardinal Knox Centre will conduct a seminar on Compassion in the Workplace, on Thursday, 19 June.
COMPASSION IN THE WORKPLACE: PROMOTING AWARENESS & CREATING CHANGE
In recent times, compassion has increasingly become appraised in the context of human wellbeing. The practice of compassion is understood to be as important for health as physical exercise and healthy diet. Major universities around the world are now investigating and proving the importance of compassion, contemplation and meditation. In this forum, specific research outcomes from Stanford University and the Oxford Mindfulness Centre will be presented. This workshop is an exciting opportunity to not only hear about this research but more importantly to engage us in building a compassionate presence individually and in the workplace.
Presentations include:
Research Findings on the Practice of Compassion from Stanford University and Oxford University by Dr Lynne Reeder
Theology of Compassion Incorporating Christian, Buddhist, Hindu Perspectives by Rev Dr John Dupuche
