Dr Marcela Matos presented the Keynote Address at the 2023 UQ Compassion Symposium. Her title was "The compassion (r)evolution: From easing suffering to awakening flourishing."

Marcela gave us a delightful, insightful, and inspiring talk, taking us through her personal and research journey from shame to compassion. A wonderful, enthusiastic audience was there to welcome her and be moved by her talk. And they received a special treat: the first presentation of Marcela et al.'s, epigenetic research showing changes in gene expression following compassionate mind training!

There were occasional technical challenges in the recording (we did all of that part on a shoestring budget), so apologies in advance for those sections where the camera was a bit shaky or the audio became less clear.

But Marcela's Keynote Address was wonderful and there is A LOT to learn from her talk. Please enjoy!

On 28 July 2023, James Kirby was in conversation with Stan Steindl at Harry Hartog Bookseller, Carindale Shopping Centre, to discuss James's book Choose Compassion.

It was a lovely evening with a great discussion, James sharing his wit and wisdom with a lively audience. We recorded the conversation on a phone, but the audio is surprisingly good!

Last week I did my top five acts of compassion in Star Wars. And I received the suggestion several times that the perfect follow-up was to look for compassion in Thje Lord of the Rings. Written by JRR Tolkien, published in 1954-1955, the adventures of Frodo, Gandalf and their friends is a favourite to many! And it is full of love, friendship, kindness, and compassion. So here are my top five stories of compassion in The Lord of The Rings. I hope you enjoy it!

I have loved Star Wars since Episode 4 was first released in 1977! I still recall the terror I felt at the thought of Darth Vader, his deadly red lightsaber, and that mechanical breathing sound.

And so, as a fan of both Star Wars and Compassion, today’s topic seems like a no brainer. Just a quick SPOILER ALERT!! I will be referencing key moments in the Star Wars Saga, so if you don't want to know certain endings, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO!

Here are my top five acts of compassion in the Star Wars saga!

By the way, I have another video on Star Wars and compassion, but taken from the recent Kenobi series. You can see that video here: https://youtu.be/cB_8LiL-mG4

Let’s take a close look at Taylor Swift's recent song Anti Hero. I think it might teach us something about shame and self-loathing, and we might even be able to extrapolate some tips about how to relate to shame in a way that can soften it, just a little.
