Growing compassionate systems change through the cultivation of systems awareness, helping people reorient and choose a different way of showing up and being in relationship with themselves, other people, and the world.
About Systems Awareness
Voices from the Field
"I notice that I am more present, I am more able to slow down and really listen and be aware of my surroundings. I feel because of this, I'm better at sensing my own inner landscape as well as others and groups."
- Compassionate Systems Master Practitioner, Class of 2022-2023
"At its core, the Compassionate Systems framework offers a living commitment to continuously practice care and attention, to aspire to greater clarity of mind and heart, and to practice kindness as a way of life."
– Dr. Mette Miriam Boell

- Compassionate Systems Master Practitioner, Class of 2020-2021
“To cultivate compassion is to be able to understand and appreciate the systemic forces and lived experiences that influence people’s feelings and actions. The word compassion literally means ‘standing with the experience (and especially the suffering) of the other.'”
