In honor of International Conflict Resolution Day, the public is invited to a free workshop, “Compassion: How to Practice Care for Self & Care for Community.”
The in-person event is from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 20, at the 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.
The workshop presenter is Ami Kunimura, founder of The Self-Care Institute.
“Compassion is a tool for healing, patience, resilience and acceptance. These topics are so important now with the recovery efforts on Maui,” Kunimura said in a press release. “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.”
The Self-Care Institute provides therapeutic support for professionals around the world who are experiencing burnout.
