Her Sunday Times Bestseller, WE: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere, co-authored with Gillian Anderson, is a guide to inner and outer change and a rallying cry to move to a less me-centric society. Her most recent book, How Compassion Can Transform our Politics, Economy and Society, co-edited with Matt Hawkins, has been hailed as a guide to creating a more compassionate world.

In discussion and practice with Jennifer, we will explore how compassion is a catalyst for systemic and social change.

Following our time with Jennifer, we’ll head into small breakout rooms for connection, reflection, and inspiration from peers. This intimate time with like-minded compassion advocates from around the world is cited as our community’s favorite aspect of these events.
