Culture, Ideas, and
Social Change Made Practical
The Compassion Forum brings The MAB’s history of fearless expression into a new form: Committed people gathering to build the courage, judgment, and connection required to help and heal well, measurably.
Compassion is a direction and a capability—practical, learnable, and measurable.
Compassion is a Direction
and a Capability.
Many programs teach compassion toward the self or toward others. This Forum gives equal weight to a third, often neglected capacity: receiving compassion, support, and useful help.
It is neither a conventional lecture series nor a meditation retreat. Participants learn, practise, reflect, measure change, and return with real experience.
Compassion for Others
Move beyond good intentions toward listening, wise action, boundaries, and sustainable help.
Receiving Compassion
Develop the trust and capacity to accept support without shame or loss of agency.
Real-World Application
Guided practice, connective tissue between: peer.
THE STRONGEST ELEMENTS, IN ONE COHERENT MODEL
Psychology. Practice. Reflection. Action
The three directions of compassion form the conceptual spine. Applied compassion science, progressive skills practice, structured peer reflection, and Compassion.coach provide the pathway from insight to behaviour.
The MAB supplies what a university classroom cannot: cultural energy, conversation, and a gathering place with a history of people saying what matters, without fear, in the center of the most compassionately disruptive city in the world, San Francisco.

Self - Others - From Others
Each live day is followed by guided Compassion.coach online sessions.
January 9 — Regulate and Reorient
Self: the nervous system, self-compassion, values, purpose, baseline assessment, dyad formation and action commitment.
February 13 — Connect and Respond
Others: empathy, boundaries, inclusion, wise action, sustainable helping, and compassionate conflict practice.
March 13 — Receive, Integrate, and Act
From others: trust, reciprocal support, applied cases, post-assessment, certification, and continuing community.
MEASURED DEVELOPMENT
Not Just How It Felt. What Changed.
Baseline and post-program psychometrics help participants see development across compassion-related capacities, well-being, and applied outcomes.
Assessment supports learning and reflection; it is not clinical diagnosis or employment selection.
Individual pre/post assessment
Measured development across the program.
Guided reflection and journals
Reflect on learning and experience.
Observable behavioural goal
Put compassion into practice.
Final compassion-in-action case
Bring learning into a real challenge.
