Circles of Belonging

Having a sense of belonging doesn’t have to be abstract — we can count the number of groups we belong to, and we can name the people with whom we feel loved.

Circles of Compassion

Compassion gives us the ability to understand someone else’s situation and the desire to take action to improve their lives. Since, every person on Earth is dependent on others for help and support, practicing compassion means that we recognize and honor this interdependency, and it also means that we can always take action to support actions that improve not only our lives and beyond our home, but into the community and the whole wide world.
