With so many demands on our attention and energy, many of us experience a narrowing of capacity—where overwhelm sets in and it becomes harder to remain fully engaged. In this 90-minute workshop, Naropa professors, Carla Burns and Jordan Quaglia, explore how to shift from strain toward embodied compassion by drawing on both contemporary science and timeless contemplative wisdom.
Offered as part of Naropa University’s Café Contemplative series, this session invites you into shared inquiry, reflection, and practical skill-building—whether you’re new to contemplative practice or deeply engaged in related work.
This free workshop also serves as an orientation to their upcoming Mindful Compassion Training, beginning March 10. Those who are interested can learn more about the full training experience here: https://www.naropa.edu/academics/schools-centers/cace/welcome-mindful-compassion-training-2026/
