RAIN - The Path of Radical Compassion
Class | Registration opens 6/1/2026 7:00 AM EDT
The Path of Radical Compassion will teach the mindfulness ‘RAIN’ Practice for emotional resilience. In a world of uncertainty and relentless negative press, high stress and self-criticism, this course offers a practical "lifeline." Using the work of world-renowned teachers Tara Brach and Kristin Neff, we will learn how to move from stressful reactive "auto-pilot" to a state of calm presence where we can make wise choices. You will learn
the RAIN method—a simple four-step meditation practice designed to help you let go of fear and anxiety by awakening and "loving yourself into healing.”
