In honor of International Conflict Resolution Day, the public is invited to the free workshop “COMPASSION: How to Practice Care for Self & Care for Community” with Ami Kunimura. The in-person event is Friday, October 20 from 5 to 7 p.m. at UH-Hilo Campus Center Room 301. A reception with pupu begins at 4:30 p.m. Parking is free on campus after 4 p.m. "Compassion is a tool for healing, patience, resilience, and acceptance. These topics are so important now with the recovery efforts on Maui," says Kunimura. "Giving yourself compassion does not mean you are taking away from anyone else. You can increase your capacity to give to your loved ones and community if you can turn some of your compassion inward." In this interactive session, let's explore self-compassion practices that support well-being and mental health plus some mindfulness-based compassion practices for community care.
