For the last 21 days, people from dozens of countries around the globe have convened to deep-dive into interfaith practices of compassion! Every day featured a unique faith, with related "hands" practice, "head" insights from scripture, and "heart" music and art. Collectively spanning thousands of reflective posts and interactions, we embraced different faiths and practices -- and each other's hearts -- to discover an underlying river of compassion flowing underneath it all. We expanded, we stretched, we discovered. And for so many of us, we transformed.
This weekend, we are coming together one last time to share inspiration, songs and gratitude for our shared values. All last three calls were brimming with sacred joy, and we'd love to have you join this closing call, broaden our circle of love, and help spread the ripples of goodwill into all directions! Please RSVP below to join our closing call.
Alongside stories from everyday heroes of interfaith and compassion, we're also honored to host Matthieu Ricard -- a renowned Buddhist monk, humanitarian, and author, often referred to as "the happiest man alive." With over 10 million views on just one of his TED Talks, Matthieu captivates audiences worldwide by sharing profound insights on cultivating inner peace, altruism, and genuine happiness. His teachings remind us that “happiness is a skill,” and that through mindfulness and compassion, we can transform our own lives and the world around us. His message is profound in its simplicity: "It's not the moral ground. It is simply that me, me, me all day long is very stuffy. And it's quite miserable, because you instrumentalize the whole world as a threat, or as a potential sort of interest [to yourself]," he said. To be happy, he suggests altruism -- makes you feel better, and others as well!
We've made this is a public call, to share Matthieu's wisdom and our collective inspiration with a wider audience -- so feel free to invite friends to join our call!
