Forgiveness is not focused on the person who has caused harm; it is about freeing us from resentment and anger. Taken from 'The Compassionate Activist', we explore whether the forgiveness research is true. Insight Timer Live: 25/10/2023 03:00 pm https://t.co/wxzoozaV9i

Since writing my book, I've become aware of so many Compassionate Activists. There's no better example than Dr Imtiaz Sooliman from Gift of the Givers.

I love this quote, but sometimes disagree. Don't you think we need to do both?

A day in the recording studio. I've bee preparing new material from my book (The Compassionate Activist) for @InsightTimer and my website. Now for the editing and uploading. And then it will find its way to all of you 💙

When writing this, I was pondering how systems can only change when we ourselves change. Yet if we only focus on transforming ourselves, without engaging in the world around, we can never know what personal transformation is still needed.

“Water soothes and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Swallow their spells. There’s a certain sweet comfort in knowing that you belong to them all.” Victoria Erikson

Companions on the Path: At times of difficulty, we tend to shut down or act out. These habits have negative repercussions for us as individuals and for the people around us. Meditation, breathwork and movement can help bring us into balance. These are companions we can rely on.

Dr @lucyheartmind: we should acknowledge our blind spots so we can truly address and communicate our work to society fully and openly #Imidibaniso #SciComm #CompassionateActivism @MatiesJournDept

[Imidibaniso (SAR Chair in Science Communication) @imidibaniso_sc]

Dr @lucyheartmind: there has to be a willingness to be uncomfortable while facing our discomfort and not run away from it. Deal with it from a point of discomfort #Imidibaniso #SciComm #CompassionateActivism @MatiesJournDept

Dr @lucyheartmind at the launch of The Compassionate Activist: Compassion is not a weakness. It is soft power and drives measured but deeply important action #Imidibaniso #SciComm #CompassionateActivism

@ukinsouthafrica @AJPhillipson Please can you help? I am British and my husband is South African. He applied for a 5 year UK visa on 18th March (20 weeks ago) and has had no response despite sending follow up emails. We want to visit our parents, who are in their 80s.
