To support our community of Compassionate Systems practitioners during this challenging time, the Center for Systems Awareness is hosting a series of weekly virtual sessions started on Tuesday, April 28 to support the community in deepening their understanding of the Compassionate Systems tools and approaches.  These virtual convenings are open for any Compassionate Systems workshops Alumni for free.

We completed the first session on April 28th with a number of global practitioners! Mette and Peter led us through the framework and the practices so masterfully, and the group conversation showed that many of the group had made an immediate connection to the topic of “Well-being”, and to one another. The series will continue with weekly sessions each highlighting a different compassionate systems tool and framework.

Our hope is that during these sessions participants will have the opportunity to re-connect, become inspired to work with Compassionate Systems tools in these different online and virtual settings that is the reality for most of us right now. There will be an emphasis on sharing of examples and engaging in conversation with other practitioners during the sessions.

We will launch this series with a session on the Well-being Framework which helps to frame the context for all of the compassionate systems tools and practices. The series will continue with weekly sessions each highlighting a different compassionate systems tool and practice as below.
