In November of last year, I graduated from Stanford University CCARE’s Applied Compassion Training after eleven months, and am now a certified educator and facilitator in compassion & mindfulness. To complete the course, I had to create and deliver a capstone project. My project involved writing an 80+ page e-book titled “Taking Compassionate Action: A Compassionate Guide to Navigating Burnout, Imposter Syndrome, and Difficult Conversations to Further Resilience, Take Action, and Create Positive Change.”
This written guide focuses on helping activists remain resilient through their work, which heavily involves witnessing the suffering of others. It is geared towards both beginners and seasoned activists (or anyone who wants to help, take action, or create change).
My capstone acts as a toolkit that can be read through in its entirety or pulled out and used during different types of challenges. You can download the e-book in its entirety below. If you would like to connect with me regarding my capstone, you can reach me at kristine@claggie.com.
