This event was recorded on November 11, 2023.
Wisdom Tales from Africa is an anthology of stories from several African traditions. Wisdom stories were traditionally told by the elders of the group, and besides being a wonderful source of entertainment, they served to emphasize the consequences of certain behavior.
The wisdom, truths and meaning of these ancient stories will resonate in different ways with people everywhere. They have a universal power to connect us to each other for the greater good which is exactly what The Charter for Compassion is all about. We invite you to celebrate and enjoy Wisdom Tales from Africa as a precious gift to be received and passed on.

The American poet Lynn Strongin is arguably among the finest living poets; certainly her work is original and 'different.' Lynn has a stunning and substantial collection available in a beautifully produced, perfect bound volume; KIOSK, a simply stunning collection which could be considered to be a single poem as it follows on one-from-another gathering together threads and links to form a quiet unique story.
Lynn is interviewed by Danielle Ofri—physician, author, and editor of Bellevue Literary Review.

A founding case author for George Washington University School of Business, she’s authored essays, magazine articles and provocative and performance poetry. Trained artist, journalist and photographer, she founded Walking Moon studios along with Jo Vander Grift and has written scripts and directed promo films and documentaries.
After seminary, ordination, and training in Spiritual Emergency, she became “Rev.

Currently in discernment, she’s considering a book as she writes her legacy poetry, articles and essays.

AWE - The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life by Dacher Keltner
In Awe, Dr. Dacher Keltner presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into the meaning of this elusive emotion. Keltner takes us on a tour of new research into how awe can transform our brains and bodies, alongside examinations of the meaning and influence of awe across history, culture, and within his own life during a period of grief. Awe shows us how to cultivate awe in our everyday life, and how doing so can put us in touch with the most humane aspects of our human nature.

The keenly researched, client-focused approach explored in this book will enrich the emotional culture of any organization, ensuring that people feel safe and are provided space to flourish and have opportunities to be their best selves.
Throughout the recent global pandemic, The world watched as kindness disrupted ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. Disruptive Kindness offers a new narrative, one that can be applied to employee engagement as well as methodologies on how to operationalize kind behaviors so they are a part of role competencies and company behavior expectations.
Offering people a safe workplace an emotionally conscious workplace, is a foundational expectation today. Retention and engagement in your enterprise have everything to do with how people feel when they work for you. Written by an HR expert, this book shows you how to start having important conversations about what it means to have a resilient enterprise.

Jamal's personal experience as a Muslim after 9/11 moved him to share more of the substance of Islam. Rabbi Ted Falcon, who has recently left the threesome, stepped more visibly into the larger community, teaching how a healing spirituality emerges within Judaism. Don concluded his position as minister of University Congregational UCC to devote more time focusing on the ways a true spirituality supports us in bringing healing to our world. Rabbi Duhan Kaplan recently took the place of Rabbi Ted Falcon when he stepped back.
Together they explore an inclusive spirituality to promote healing that expresses as concrete environmental, social, and political action. They bring a message of deep hope and profound possibilities for healing on both a personal level and a planetary level. Their work comprises a dialogue of the mind, the heart, and the hands, encouraging greater understanding, compassion, and social action in the world.

We hosted Author Robin Bennett Kanarek, and hosted by Dr. Christina Puchalski.
A practical guide for understanding how palliative care can improve quality of life for patients and their caregivers.
Robin Bennett Kanarek was a registered nurse working with patients suffering from chronic medical conditions when her ten-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia. As her son endured grueling treatments, Robin realized how often medical professionals overlook critical psychological, emotional, and spiritual support for people with life-threatening illnesses. Living Well with a Serious Illness is the culmination of decades of Robin's work to advance the field of palliative care.
Although palliative care is often associated with hospice and end-of-life planning, Kanarek argues for a more expanded definition that incorporates palliative care earlier in patients' journeys. Living Well with a Serious Illness helps patients and their caregivers understand
• what palliative care entails
• how to access the support they need when going through a serious illness
• what questions to ask medical professionals
• how to navigate advanced care planning
• definitions of common terminology used with end-of-life planning
• the importance of spiritual care, coping strategies, and emotional support
• how to become an advocate for palliative care
This book illuminates the importance of seeing patients as individuals who can benefit from care for their body, mind, and spirit—the core tenet of palliative care.

Immerse yourself into these heart-warming illustrated stories of how children from India, Pakistan, Australia and other parts of the world have chosen to act from empathy and love when faced with real-life challenges.
Let them inspire you and together, let us make compassion a global movement. Along with stories, there are activities at end of each chapter that children can themselves do, to build their empathy muscle. What makes this book unique is that they are true moral and value based stories whose heroes are children living amongst us.
