Global Compassion Community Gathering

Free Community Event + Guest Speaker Scott Shute

July 15, 2021 12:00-1:00 PM EDT / 16:00-17:00 UTC

Welcome! We invite you to celebrate our connection as a global community of compassionate friends and allies. We gather to align, inspire, and ignite our collective hearts and minds to birth a more compassionate world. Please register for the free event here to reserve your spot.

We are delighted to welcome Scott Shute as our guest presenter and practice leader. Scott is the Head of Mindfulness and Compassion at the global social business network LinkedIn and author of the wonderful new book The Full Body Yes. Scott sits at the intersection of the workplace and ancient wisdom traditions. Previously, he was the Vice President of LinkedIn’s Customer Operations organization.

In his current role as Head of Mindfulness and Compassion at LinkedIn, Scott blends his lifelong practice and passion with his practical leadership and operations experience. His mission is to change work from the inside out by “mainstreaming mindfulness” and “operationalizing compassion.”

Scott will share his personal perspectives on compassion, lead us through some compassion practices, and answer questions from the community.

Following our time with Scott, we will dive into deeper conversation with small groups in breakout rooms. This intimate time with like-minded compassion advocates from around the world is cited as a community favorite for reflection, connection, and inspiration from peers.

The event is co-hosted by Laura Berland, founder of the nonprofit Center for Compassionate Leadership, and Monica Worline, co-author of Awakening Compassion at Work and Stanford University researcher with the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

We are so fortunate to gather from all corners of the globe to share our intentions for bringing compassion to all who long to heal and flourish. Most importantly, it is not just the external systems that require compassionate care, it is each and every one of us who can benefit from the inner work of self-compassion to rest, restore, and return to wholeness. Only then can we activate this change from the inside out.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for your vision and passion to weave the world anew. And thank you for your remembrance that compassion is one of the essential paths for all humanity, all beings, and our precious planet herself to thrive with love, peace and joy.

Please register for this hour-long free community gathering to connect, reflect, and practice together. The event will be recorded for those who cannot attend live, and still wish to share in the powerful energy and inspiration.

Our collective intention to spark a compassion revolution is already in motion!
