This program is for those who have previously practiced with John Makransky or Paul Condon and are thus familiar with the sustainable compassion trainings they teach (SCT). We discover new facets of each SCT meditation in light of the others, every time we circle back to a meditation we’ve previously learned after having done the others. In this way, each of the three modes of SCT empowers the other modes. To be seen in our deep worth and held in unconditional acceptance and love, in receptive mode, empowers us to see others in their deep worth and to hold them in love, in inclusive mode. Both those modes of meditation, in their releasing phase, help us settle into the source of that love: the infinite openness, warmth, and wisdom in the depth of our awareness, which is the deepening mode. From there, the energies of love and compassion can unfold more freely into the other two modes, and empower further practices of compassion.

In this program, we will explore how this synergy of inter-related practices helps us open increasingly to the primordial goodness of our being, our buddha nature. We also explore how perspectives from modern psychology may inform and empower this process of awakening. Guided meditations, explanation of key principles, and discussion will clarify and empower our collective practice.
