Practicing Compassion in Challenging Times

 
 
Dear Neighbors,
 
"Practicing Compassion in Challenging Times" is an interfaith event exploring how compassion is a universal human value across faith traditions and belief systems. This two hour event is the introduction to what we hope will be many other events in practicing compassion.
 
The confirmed speakers are:
Skywalker Payne, professional storyteller
Rev. Lisa Talbott, pastor of Homer United Methodist Church
Chaplain Bob Redmond, chaplain of South Peninsula Hospital and Hospice of Homer
Anna Raupp, kundalini yoga instructor
Father Tom Rush, priest of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church
 
The event will begin with storytelling and a short panel discussion. The attendees will then rotate through three activities that provide practical exercises in compassion from various belief systems.The evening will close with a group discussion/debrief. 
 
Please feel free to print and post the attached flyer.
 
Skywalker Payne and I are the main organizers of the event, and we are looking for ways to broaden our circle of representatives from the faith traditions and belief systems that exist in Homer, so please help connect us to people and organization that we can collaborate with as we move forward in practicing compassion in our community. 
 
Peace,
 
Lisa Talbott
