CIRCLE OF COMPASSION is a humane education program which invites individuals to explore their deepest beliefs about themselves, others, and the planet as they develop practical strategies to put their principles into action.

Through respectful discussion and lively critical thinking activities, participants examine their own attitudes and actions towards others with whom they share the planet. The process of self-reflection and questioning is encouraged and valued. Respect for self and others are essential components of each presentation. Always positive and hopeful, Circle of Compassion addresses fundamental questions of what it means to lead a life that is a daily affirmation of peace and compassion.
