Podcasts & Events
Welcome to our community podcast. Each podcast is a conversation designed to introduce you to the topics and thought leaders of the Compassion 2.0 Community. The podcasts will be a chance for you to listen in as the guests share their personal stories, insights and best practices of scaling compassion into the organizations that shape our society and bring out the best in our common humanity.
If you'd like to join the conversation, we are providing an opportunity to participate in salons with featured podcast speakers. The salons will be held a few weeks after their podcast airs and will provide the space for you to interact with the speakers and other community members through dialogue and small group activities. We believe in the learning and transformative potential that arises through shared inquiry and co-creative gathering. Come together as part of a global community envisioning, and building, a world shaped by compassion.
