How do we tap into compassion during such challenging times?

How can small acts of kindness rewire our brains and bring more joy and wellbeing?

How do we cultivate deeper ties that nourish our hearts?

How do we move from seeing service as a sacrifice to seeing it as a celebration of who we truly are as human beings?

Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace.org - an incubator of projects that support a gift culture. In his mid-twenties, Nipun quit his job to become a "full time volunteer" and over the last 15 years, his work has reached millions, attracted more than 500 thousand volunteers, and mushroomed into numerous projects like DailyGood, Awakin Circles, and Karma Kitchen. 

Among his many prestigious accolades, President Obama appointed him on a council for social change, Dalai Lama recognized him as an “Unsung Hero of Compassion”, and Germany’s OOOM magazine named him Top 100 Most Inspiring People of 2018. 

We are tremendously proud and happy to have Nipun as our guest on Heartful Conversations, in an episode where we discuss compassion in our day to day lives and in today's world context and how to tap into it.

Heartful Conversations is a Podcast series initiated by CERC ( Compassion in Education Resource Center ), a project developed by Verita Foundation and Verita International School.

It is a dialogue between three friends on different topics of the heart and it emerged from a genuine need for connection and meaningful encounter during challenging times.

Marius, Lila and Richard used to organize Mindfulness retreats together and while that is not possible anymore, they still felt they could get together and share some thoughts on relevant topics these days, guide some useful practices for the body and mind and maybe even bring some smiles.

They will bring many interesting guests on the following episodes so stay tuned.
