About this Event
The First Annual Compassion Symposium.
Join us for the First Annual Compassion Symposium. A two-day in-person event designed for people who are interested in, or have been, studying, teaching, or practicing compassion in any form. Whether your path has taken you through healthcare, mental health, education, business, or personal practice, this symposium is created for those who believe in the power of compassion and want to deepen their work in collaboration with like-minded others.
Hosted by Stanford University Ambassadors of Compassion, Dr. Nancy Goldman and Kathleen Marshall LaGambina, in collaboration with the Center for Compassionate Leadership, this heartfelt gathering is your chance to step away from the screen, meet face-to-face, and relate with others who share a mission-driven commitment to compassion in today’s world.
