‘Listen – are you breathing a little and calling it a life?’ MARY OLIVER

Maybe you have innate qualities – gifts – that remain unwrapped but have been specifically endowed to you for a purpose.

Maybe there are life skills that you are unaware of, but which are easily trainable so you can more easily negotiate those wicked obstacles.

But do our formal education systems fully equip us?

The journey is complicated. The solutions are simple – but not “quick fix”. It’s all inner work – THE WORK. But without it, we’re just breathing a little.

Our Caring on Campus programmes and retreats especially focus on building cultures of compassion that ripple outward for wider social impact. If we hope for a future in which everyone can grow and thrive, there is no better place to start.
