Once a month, a two-hour session is held which consists of a talk which outlines the practice for the rest of the month. All the other sessions are an hour long. The whole topic of compassion in mindfulness is explored in-depth. The course is open to those individuals who have completed the 8-week mindfulness course or experienced meditators.
