Cognitively Based Compassion Training

Cognitively Based Compassion Training (CBCT) is a meditative training developed at the Emory University Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. This training offers a meditation method for adults to cultivate greater compassion, resilience, and wellbeing.

Research has shown CBCT to have positive effects on our wellness. These effects include significant decrease in stress biomarkers, inflammatory response, depression, loneliness, and PTSD symptoms. In addition, research has shown significant increases in hopefulness, compassion, empathy, and self-compassion. Early research shows a link between compassion and resilience.

CBCT is offered as an eight week course both on line and in person.

Classes will be added soon, both online and in person around Maine!
