Training A Million Compassionate People
Â
We've trained over 2000 people around the world so far. Join us in creating the world
most of us want to live in. This 6-Week Compassion Immersion runs September 7 - October 12, 2024.
“I stumbled upon this class at my lowest point in recent memory, hoping for a tool or two to chip away at the darkness that had dogged me for years. [After this course], I felt seen. I felt more at peace with myself and others; I felt more hopeful and more willing to hope.. I cannot recommend this course enough.”

“I truly was not ready nor prepared for the depth and beauty of this course.”

“Julia's compassion immersion is one of the most profound teachings I've heard in quite some time. I am now inspired to become a warrior of love as my ultimate weapon against all the hate in this world.”
__ Lauren N.Â
“Before taking this course, I was hesitant of spiritual wellness schemes that tell people what they want to hear, rather than what they need to hear. Thankfully, this class makes no effort to ignore the reality of societal inequalities, and does not run contrary to medical/scientific thought.”
__ K. P.
A personal invitation from Julia
This program is here to meet the collective longing for a more compassionate world.
Blending Buddhist teachings, Western psychology, and neuroscience, this course will give you insights and tools to help you cultivate self-compassion, and navigate internal and external difficulties with more grace and effectiveness.
My aim is to offer these essential teachings in the skills of compassion on a global scale large enough to make a real difference in our world. Because all of our problems -- from the personal to the societal and the environmental -- would be better solved if approached through a more compassionate lens.
This course is for you if
you recognize yourself in any of these situations. The tools inside address every one of these points:
-
You have an easy time finding compassion for others but not for yourself.
-
You are "too compassionate" and lack healthy boundaries.
-
You feel emotionally exhausted or are experiencing severe compassion fatigue.
-
The current social and political environment has put a lot of fear and bitterness in your heart.
-
You feel closed off and want to reconnect with your heart and your more loving nature.
-
You grew up in a family that didn’t know how to talk about, be with, or appreciate emotions.
-
You shut down and withdraw when you feel anxious or upset.
-
You have a tendency to be reactionary and defensive, passing judgment quickly and focusing on negativity.
-
You have tenuous personal and professional relationships, and want a healthier way to be with people you find difficult.
-
You want to understand the difference between holding yourself accountable, and beating yourself up.
-
You want guidelines for how to be gentle, without being weak.
-
You want to live more intentionally.
-
You want to be a model of compassion for your children, or others in your community.
-
You are looking for a path that transcends the division we see today.
-
You feel alone in your longing for a more caring and compassionate world. (FYI: there are lots of others like you and they will be in this course with you.)

How this course works
Â
-
We'll meet on a weekly Zoom call on Saturdays, from 9 - 10:30am PT, for 6 weeks starting September 7th, 2024. (Convert your time zone here.) Our calls are recorded so you can listen to them anytime if you miss any, or if you want to re-listen to them.
-
On each call, you’ll receive a substantial new teaching that walks you step by step, in just the right order, towards a life of greater compassion and ease. You’ll also receive journaling prompts, meditations, and real-world exercises to work with between calls, to ensure these teachings are integrated into your lived experience; not just held intellectually.
-
Through our private community portal, you may connect with your classmates to discuss the challenges, changes, and epiphanies you’re experiencing around the cultivation of compassion. This supportive community will uplift you, help you see just how common our struggles are, and allow you to crowdsource solutions to complex interpersonal dilemmas.
-
Like all of my courses, this course is rich with poetry, stories, and the kind of language that will reach you in places deeper than the rational mind, for more lasting understanding and change. It is not a passive or conceptual spiritual course. It will inspire and empower you to live differently.

This course comes with community
Â
This program comes with community. When you enroll, you'll be added to a private network where you can share your thoughts, experiences, insights, and challenges with your classmates as we go through the course process together. You may also opt to be part of a small accountability buddy group of 3 or 4 of your classmates. Or, you might also consider inviting a dear friend to join you. You can be accountability buddies throughout the course.
One thing you’ll consistently hear from past participants is how kind, safe, and supportive my communities are. I’d love for you to enjoy this special group of humans.
