Send us a Text Message.The idea of goal setting or having an intention has been the center of focus for the recent programs that I lead.  If you want to get to a destination, you need a road map that indicates how far to get there, and what route to take.  In order to have that information you need to know the absolute destination.  Often this becomes a to-do list, or a bucket list, or an avoidance exercise because we don't really know what we want, or how we would want to get there.Today with Compassionate Living we are going to explore connection with others with the desire to reach out to help, but we are going to go beyond that.  We are going to talk about listening to the needs of the other, not our wants for the other.  Through this exploration, we can then look at the skills and advantages we may have to achieve the goals they are indicating to us.  Charlene and I have been talking about the Moyo Family in Milawa and what some of their needs have been.  Today we explore how hearing their needs and bringing focus and clarity to their situation has provided us with a means to reach out to others who can help. This is an interesting discussion as we move past emergency or urgency decisions to long-term change and collaboration.We wish to share and acknowledge the support of gracepads.com who recently visited the Moyo family to share the Grace Pad Kits, and to look at sustainable opportunities for the family.  This is one special episode to enjoy.As always, make a cup of tea and relax, and if you haven't tried the Mission4Change CommuniTEA blend, perhaps order yourself some today.  capebretontea.caTo learn more about the card deck, please go to dancedebut.com in the shop.Support the Show.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

Send us a Text Message.You know when people ask you if they can give you a hand, how you politely thank them and tell them you are ok, you can do it yourself.  Or, when you see someone struggling, and you offer a hand, but they tell you they have it.  We find it so hard to receive help or to ask for help, yet, we can eagerly offer to help and we want to help.  This altruistic nature is something we all engage with, yet have trouble accepting.How about when someone offers you a compliment?  How do you accept it?  How do you respond.  I know that I have said such things as “oh this old thing, I have had it for years, or I really need a haircut, this hair is just so unruly.” After I have said those things, in the back of my mind I am wondering why in the world I responded that way and what the other person must think as I put down their noticing and their joy in what they have seen.Let's move that forward to compassionate living and wanting to help others in need.  Today Charlene and I will be looking at the responses that have happened in British Columbia with the fires, evacuations, outreach of neighbours, the first responders unending support, and the front-line firefighters who have given their all to save land, animals, families, homes, and businesses. Are you ready for an update about the Moyo family, we are sharing more about the compassionate outreach that is happening and all that is becoming possible.

Dr. Tushar Mehta practices Emergency Medicine in the Toronto area and is the co-founder of Towards Ahimsa and Plant Based Data, a free database which organizes academic and institutional literature regarding plant-based diet health, environment, food security, and zoonotic pandemic risk. Tushar will be speaking at Compassionate Living's upcoming Ahimsa Vegan Conference. Tushar joins us to discuss the environmental impact of animal agriculture and thoroughly debunks “regenerative” grazing. He also addresses common arguments for eating local and other “sustainable” meat, dairy, and eggs. He warns of animal farming's resource intensive use of land and water and offers solutions that we so desperately need as we swelter in the new normal of extreme summer heat, floods, and fires. This is a rebroadcast of an interview with Tushar in 2021. Resources:Ahimsa Vegan ConferenceAnother Industry Attempt to Greenwash BeefPlant-Based Data

Meet Benjamin (Ben) Hagerty, a passionate traveler and co-manager of the travel blog, It's Bree and Ben, alongside his wife, Brianne Nemiroff. Their journey goes beyond typical travel experiences as they explore sustainable tourism and embrace a vegan business philosophy. Through their platform, they offer valuable insights, travel guides, and essays about vegan and plant-based travel, making a positive impact on fellow travelers seeking mindful and sustainable adventures. Benjamin's love for flavors and dishes associated with a vegan diet began during his upbringing in the vibrant San Francisco Bay area. However, it wasn't until 2015 that he and his wife, Bree, decided to fully embrace the vegan lifestyle after a one-week trial. To their delight, they felt great after abstaining from meat, prompting them to transition gradually into a vegan way of life. In 2017, after tying the knot, Benjamin and Bree embarked on an extraordinary road trip adventure across the U.S. and Canada. Their year-long journey became a unique blend of travel and work, as Benjamin continued to work remotely as a travel consultant while documenting vegan-friendly places for their website. Their travel experiences uncovered surprising vegan-friendly areas in unexpected places. Along the way, they encountered vibrant vegan communities in St. Louis and Kansas City, showcasing innovative and creative approaches to veganism beyond the West Coast and New England. Inspired by their journey, Benjamin and Bree established their website, It's Bree and Ben. Beyond just providing information on vegan-friendly restaurants and venues, they aim to promote mindful and sustainable travel practices that align with vegan philosophy. As part of his graduate school project, Benjamin conducted extensive research, uncovering four key areas of concern that shape the experiences of individuals and businesses in the vegan entrepreneurship niche. These areas include the impetus of health and well-being, the framework of inclusivity, facing "vegan phobia" and discrimination, and the cost of doing vegan business. Despite the challenges faced by vegan entrepreneurs, Benjamin and Bree honor the vegan lifestyle, viewing it not just as a dietary choice but as a way of life encompassing compassion, environmental consciousness, and empathy. Through It's Bree and Ben, they share valuable insights into exploring the world through a compassionate lens, appreciating the abundance of experiences that a vegan lifestyle can offer. Their journey exemplifies the profound connection between sustainable tourism, veganism, and mindful travel. As a community, we can support and uplift compassionate entrepreneurs like Benjamin and Bree while making conscious choices that positively impact the world around us.

Send us a Text Message.During times of trial and devastation, we have to dig deep into our souls and hearts to find the grit and determination to move forward.  Some days it may seem like weight and heaviness holds back the tiny steps forward.  We have had many hardships happening around us in our world.  The weather patterns have created fires, tornados, and floods like never before.  We are focused on the Moyo Family in Malawi who are striving to find drinkable water, a way to create shelter, and a chance to grow their own food. To begin today we are bringing the Moyo family's desire to find a way to create a house that can withstand the changing weather patterns.  The mud bricks cannot hold up in the rainy season. I am pleased to bring Charlene Waines into the conversation so we can learn more about how to ask questions for supporting others and understanding the true needs of a community so far away from our own. With this episode we launch the fundraising tea: Mission4Change CommuniTEA, to help raise money for the Moyo family.  Charlene has supported food, emergency care, hospital visits, a water Hippo to help carry water to their home, a special garden, and bricks to build a shelter. To follow the Moyo family, please go to https://www.gofundme.com/f/Stephen-Moyos-Mission4change, where Charlene provides updates and accepts financial support. To order the tea please go to: capebretontea.ca and you will find the tea in the shop.  All proceeds from the sale of the tea support the most critical needs of the family.  Our support of the Moyo family also inspires hope and knowledge for the village.  Together we can make a difference in the lives of others.Support the Show.Dr. Michelle Greenwell, BA Psych, MSc CAM, Ph.

On this episode we have our second session of the Humane Hoax Book Club with two of Compassionate Living's Humane Hoax Team volunteers Marian Erikson and Fireweed. We talked about a few of the chapters from the new anthology, The Humane Hoax: Essays Exposing the Myth of Happy Meat, Humane Dairy, and Ethical Eggs. A fascinating chapter we examine is called “Murder She Wrote” about the memoirs of Femivores, women who own farms and dominate and kill animals in an attempt to gain equality in the male dominated spaces of farming, hunting, and butchery. We explore other chapters that focus on speciesist language, the cognitive dissonance of consuming animals, and we expose foodie culture for its celebration of violence. Resources:Order the Book!

If I'm not careful, I fall into the trap of only noticing the worst leaders, the worst organizations, the worst situations. That's perhaps because people often wait until crises to call on a consultant so when I get there, I see them at their worst.In reality, there is a tremendous amount of compassion and kindness demonstrated by leaders everywhere. If you're slipping into cynicism or apathy, pay close attention to this short podcast. I'm going to give 5 strategies to grow in compassionate leadership.

A vegan of 10 years, Mitali has a book publishing company called The Vegan Publisher, using a hybrid book publishing model to help vegan and plant-based experts write books to amplify the voices of ethical entrepreneurs. Mitali tells Hope about her experiences with racism as a child and in particular an aspect of racism called colorism. She goes on to talk about her love of writing, choosing it as a career path, and how the passion of vegan entrepreneurs inspired her to start a vegan publishing company. Mitali explains what a mind map is and how this new method of organizing thoughts can help beyond writing books. She also tells Hope why she wrote her book, The Freedom Master Plan, and how it can help ethical entrepreneurs write and promote their books to catapult their businesses or organizations to the next level. Resources: Sign Up for Compassionate Living's E-newsSign up for Hope's online course: Ahimsa, Animal Advocacy, and Veganism with Arihanta AcademyMitali's Info:Publisher website: https://www.theveganpublisher.com/The Freedom Master Plan book website: https://www.thefreedommasterplan.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LetsTellYourStoryPublishingTwitter: https://twitter.com/veganpublisher   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veganpublisher/LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/veganpublisher/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfrbspEvAQyN8thKIdh-ycg

What is Compassionate living? Have you wondered? Is it a way of living where one's mind and heart are both open to understanding others' experiences, or is it our shared connectivity with all life, where one acts from that place of informed caring?

Kathryn is a life coach who helps over-thinkers, self-critics, and deeply thoughtful humans to let go of self-judgement without bypassing their feelings or current reality, and helps them to live life more on their own terms. I met Kathryn in a group coaching programme and was drawn to how comfortable she seemed with sitting in discomfort… I watched as she took the space and time she needed and - something I still struggle with even though I've been working on for what feels like forever! - didn't feel compelled to fill space with words! It came as no surprise, then, when she told me she's all about sitting in discomfort, and that there's no need for ‘positive thinking' when you're around her. How refreshing is that!

Healing doesn't = a lack or an absence. It's a deepening understanding of yourself, how you want to be and ultimately, living. 40:22 - communication, understanding, meaning 42:38 - Communicating a ‘non-mainstream' way of living with your chronic illness with those around you, feeling shame around your chronic illness, and not piling shame upon shame. 49:24 - Depression as an amplifier and playing with integration.

In this episode, Jen and Sarah Jane talk about the concept of precious impermanence, an organizing principle for many Asian religions and belief systems.Impermanence dignifies the transient nature of reality. Clinging to things as if they could be permanent is what causes unnecessary suffering in life. Through Buddhist, yogic, and Taoist textual references and stories, Sarah Jane and Jen demonstrate the value of seeing the world as ever-changing and uncertain. Not only is it realistic, but it compels us to live meaningfully, passionately, now.~~~Books Find the following books in your  local Black-owned bookstore:"Training in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong" by Norman Fischer"Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living" by Pema Chödrön“The Five Invitations” by Frank Ostaseski“A Year to Live” by Stephen Levine“The Trauma of Everyday Life” by Mark Epstein. "The World We Have: A Buddhist Approach to Peace & Ecology" by Thich Nhat Hanh"The Next in the Stream: Lessons from Nature on Being with Pain" by Micheal Kearney, MD.Online ProgramsA Year to Live course at Spirit Rock.

Here are two tools to become more conscious, compassionate and mindful in our parenting and in our living. The post Conscious Parenting and Compassionate Living appeared first on Susie Pettit.

All five co-hosts grab some tea, full of compassion for one another, to talk about awakening compassion. The conversation begins with definitions and connections to spirituality. Since everyone thinks compassion is a good thing, co-hosts wonder how we become more compassionate. By awakening? By watering a seed inside of ourselves? Through training?  The conversation turns to a Christianity informed by compassion. Allen brings Tibetan Buddhism and tonglen breathing practice into the space. Bonnie brings in an Orthodox Christian breathing practice. Connecting breath and compassion, co-hosts discuss the possibility of a compassion-centered Christianity. It turns out compassion is a rather divisive, controversial idea within Christianity. Co-hosts’ formation and evolving Christian identity become exposed in interesting ways. Co-hosts realize the effects of being formed within Christianity communities that disavow Christ’s vulnerability and woundedness are still present in them. The episode closes with a rousing round of Sound Charades. It’s obvious the cups of tea (and perhaps, compassion) have grown cold as co-hosts compete to the bitter, disputed end.     Conversation on Awakening Compassion (00:59) Sound Charades Segment (55:12) RELEVANT LINKS From Our Conversation, Awakening Compassion The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe by Richard Rohr (Book - Amazon Affiliate Link) Saint Francis of Assisi (Wiki) Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time: The Historical Jesus and the Heart of Contemporary Faith by Marcus J.

For my Calm Your Mind, Lift Your Spirits Therapeutic Yoga Class, I’m using the book Start Where You Are, by Pema Chodron as a jumping off point for our group intentions and meditations. Because it’s a yoga class, we infuse the teaching with our movement, and I just have to share with you what came of it.

SHRIMAD BHĀGAVATAM 1st canto-chapter 3rd

I am of the opinion that the problem with most of American Christianity is that it has lost of heart of the good news of Jesus. We, instead, have replaced the spirit of Christianity with an ethical code of do's and don'ts that completely miss what it means to be transformed by the spirit of God. Philippians 2 offers an image of what it looks like to live a transformed life. It starts by giving up the certainty that "I know what's best" for me and for others, and discovering that faithful living is found in service and sacrifice. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/henry-holub/message

We have the choice to make good from the seemingly destructive. Chodron, Pema. “Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living.” Boston: Shambhala,, 2004. p. 36-37 & 42-43.

Lojong for 30 Days There are lots of videos on YouTube out there under the umbrella of, “I tried ____ for 30 days and this is what happened” I tried meditation for 30 days and this is what happened. I tried yoga for 30 days and this is what happened. Since I already practice yoga and meditation these are not going to work for an I tried video for me. But there are also I tried cold showers for 30 days, I went to the gym for 30 days, I quit social media for 30 days, waste free or plastic free for the 30 days of water challenge, pushups for 30 days, pull ups for 30 days. You get the picture. While there are merits to these practices, I thought what if I could come up with an I tried ___ for 30 days that was deeply aligned with my own values. In the lineage of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Tibetan Buddhism there is a practice called lojong. It is a bodhicitta mind training for those of us who aspire to awaken for the benefit of all beings. There are 59 slogans which are designed to reverse our ego-clinging and cultivate tenderness and compassion. Here are the slogans: Click Here This is not about progress, about doing it right, about succeeding, but about noticing how I open and close to the slogan that I choose. My idea is that I will take this deck shuffle through the cards and whatever slogan jumps out at me I will have to stick with for 30 days. The thing about these slogans is that they are not all clear from the get go: A slogan like: don’t expect applause or be grateful to everyone are pretty straight forward, but a slogan like: examine the nature of unborn awareness would probably take me way more than 30 days to find understanding in. I honestly don’t know what I am hoping. I know whatever I choose it is going to kick my but in some way and it will also bring some illumination and awakening. I will set an alarm on my phone so that I will remember to check in each day and let you know how I am doing. I plan to share the frustrations as well as the insights. Hopefully this video will not be too long! My lojong for 30 days May 18-June 18 is “Don’t turn Gods into demons” There are three books I am drawing from for this challenge. Chogyam Trungpa’s Training the Mind and Cultivating Loving Kindness, Pema Chodron’s Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living and Norman Fischers’ Teaching in Compassion: Zen Teachings on the Practice of Lojong. I also love Judy Leif’s teachings on Lojong in Tricycle magazine. She was a student of Chogyam Trungpa’s and she has written on each of the 59 slogans in Tricycle. https://tricycle.org/trikedaily/train-your-mind-dont-make-gods-into-demons/ I like to start with Chogyam Trungpa because he came first and seems closest to the source. With don’t turn gods into demons, he talks about our negativity bias and our tendency to complain. He says this slogan asks us to not make things that are joyful, painful. The other thing that I love about what Chogyam Trungpa says is that dharma can become adharma. In other words, we can start using the teachings against ourselves. Oh my gosh, can I relate to that one. The number of times I have done that over the years, let’s be honest, in a single practice. This is something I can observe from minute to minute in my life. He also talks about bringing awareness to the way we use the dharma to build up our ego. That is another aspect of this “don’t turn gods into demons” lojong slogan that I will notice throughout the month. How do I use what is good in my life to solidify my sense of self. Oh my gosh, that list is probably endless. Day 1 I was reflecting on how the previous day my seventeen year old daughter had come into my bedroom and kissed me goodnight. I was quite touched by this tender act of affection. The next day, I said to my husband, did you ask her to do that? He said he did and then asked, did that make it any less special? Don’t turn gods into demons.

In today’s episode with vegan model and social influencer Brad we talk a lot about (plant-based) foods, of course, but even more so about the impact food has on us and Planet Earth. Brad shares his story about growing up an unhealthy, lost, and chubby kid and how he one day decided to take matters in his own hands and start loosing weight. The reason? Simple, he wanted to attract that pretty girl in school! But the path it lead him down had a much greater impact on his life than he first might have thought. What we’ll cover today is the importance of self-empowerment and of choosing a lifestyle that will make you both feel and look good. We talk about how what might seem like vain reasons at first, will actually catalyze you into a new version of yourself - a self-loving, self-empowered and humble you, who will one day be the one who helps and empowers others. Brad also gives his best advice on how to take on something as scary as going plant-based, and how it’s all about a marathon and not a sprint. Brad is a former chubby and timid kid turned fit international male model represented throughout the US. His relationship with food has greatly impacted his life from a young age and in 2017, Brad decided to start weaning himself off meat as a way to find inner peace with the world around him. Today, Brad is purely plant based and shares his story and expertise to inspire others to obtain a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthier life.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to The Buddhist Chef, Jean-Philippe Cyr, about the meaning of compassion and how it extends beyond the food we eat. He explains how Buddhism is the path to vegan eating and how the foods we prepare can affect your overall psyche. Of course we talk about his amazing website and all the videos he produces to make vegan cooking easy for anyone. He points out that people often feel defeated before they even begin because the ingredient lists are too long or the recipe pictures are too beautiful. He hopes to help everyone bring tasty vegan cooking to their homes that anyone will be happy eating regardless of which food groups they normally consume. And you will be really interested to hear what he has to say about soy. Please share this episode on social media as it is “soy” good. Jean-Philippe (a Quebec native, just like us) has been Buddhist for over 20 years. He attended the École hôtelière de la Capitale in Quebec City where he excelled in French cuisine and classic techniques. After graduating he apprenticed, among other establishments, at the acclaimed French restaurant Le Saint-Amour. He then continued to evolve as a chef and master cooking techniques in gourmet restaurants in Quebec, including The Capitole, a renowned dining establishment. Now, he shares his passion and what he has learned with all of his subscribers and followers via his website The Buddhist Chef / La Cuisine de Jean-Philippe in which he publishes simple and tasty vegan recipes as easy-to-follow video tutorials! When he’s not in the kitchen, he loves spending time with his beautiful wife and two dogs.   In this episode we discuss: Making it delicious for everyone Cooking with kids Vegan is the Buddhist way Killing spiders Cooking meat after veganism    So many choices Being intimidated in the kitchen Cookbook pictures – inspiration or defeat?

Camille Sanzone agrees with what Mike Dooley from tut.com, says: “Next time you overhear someone say they're only human, be compassionate.” In truth, we are all ANGELS AMONG US; angels, who while on earth, have but one wing. That’s why, in order to fly, we must embrace each other. She admits there are fallen angels here too, who commit the horrors against humanity that we see, for they are more damaged than most of us. The angels among us must take heart & take action to spread the love.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's at 1PM ET on W4WN Radio – The Women 4 Women Network (www.w4wn.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Camille Sanzone talks with Dr. Marilyn Volker, sexologist & therapist, about the causes and effects of bullying and what we can do to be part of the solution.

Camille Sanzone implores us to live compassionate lives. If we behave in unkind or violent ways, we model that for our children, leaving them a legacy of a negative & somber view of the world, & their place in it. We can & must do better.

Host Camille Sanzone encourages us to make a commitment to live compassionate lives, modeling for the next generation a better way of being in the world. When we behave in unkind or violent ways because that's what we have known or seen, it's too easy to say, "I can't help it!" She says "We CAN help it; we MUST help it, or our children will inherit a negative & somber view of the world, & their place in it." Camille calls on us to make a donation via PayPal to forabetterway@aol.com toward the formation of a non-profit through which she will create a free program teaching compassionate living in the schools.

Today Theresa and Michael interview Michael Lanfield. Michael is an animal rights activist, author and speaker from Toronto, Canada. A vegan since 2009, his book The Journey to Compassionate Living empowers you to look further into the roots of our culture,  the reasons why we are faced with so many of the problems of our day and the solutions to these problems. His latest book and full length documentary film The Interconnectedness of Life, produced by We are Interconnected Films is based on the relationship between humans, animals and the natural world.  It is expected to be released in 2015.  

Colossians 3:12-17

When Jesus saw the crowds he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.  Jesus’ compassionate response is to throw open the gates of his kingdom and invite more in.  Looking at the Lord’s response, we are faced with a choice: ‘Will you live a compassionate life?’ The post Compassionate Living appeared first on The Bridge Church.

At the UNM Bookstore, UNM Psychiatry Professors Sally Severino and Nancy Morrison discuss their book, “Sacred Desire: Growing in Compassionate Living ,” which draws on neurology and the physiology of social affiliation and attachment to argue that humans are biologically wired to seek oneness with the divine, an urge they term “Sacred Desire.”

Our 37th show features an interview with Rae Sikora, who has been a spokesperson for animals, the environment and human rights for over 25 years. As co-founder of the Center for Compassionate Living and the International Institute for Humane Education, Rae created interactive critical thinking tools that are now being used by teachers around the globe. Rae recently spoke at our Valley Vegan Society meeting and we took the opportunity to ask her a few questions! We also have a call-in interview with Freya Dinshah, who founded the American Vegan Society along with her late husband Jay Dinshah.In the News: Sunderland Man Convicted of Killing Protected Birds, Don't Blame Veganism for Child Neglect
