Course Overview

The Facilitated Short Course offers organizations, associations, and community groups an opportunity to explore the Compassionate Inquiry® approach in a guided, relational learning environment.

Over five months, participants explore how early experiences, emotional patterns, and deeply held beliefs may shape reactions, relationships, and behaviors in the present. Through reflection, discussion, and gentle experiential exercises, the course supports greater presence, curiosity, and self-understanding.

The learning environment is grounded in respect, connection, and shared insight. Participants learn within a supportive group setting that values safety, curiosity, and relational awareness.
