Events: Arizona - Phoenix - Scottsdale

Boundless Compassion is a way of life that begins with self-compassion.

In Mark 10, Jesus asks Bartimaeus the blind beggar, “What do you want me to do for you?” Bartimaeus responds, “I want to see again!” What do you want Jesus to do for you? Here is your opportunity to ask for what you need.

We’ll explore “Wisdom of Tenderness,” a deeper compassion for the marginalized, grief for all, and compassion for the environment. Prayer, teachings, videos, and music will be used to help you learn in the way that best reaches you. Themes include non-judgment, non-violence, forgiveness, and mindfulness.

FEE:  $250 single including meals and lodging and $135 per person commuter including meals.

Pre-registration required.
