In this third and last part of the Being with Suffering series, the focus was on acting with principled compassion and embodied integrity. It built upon the prior two Being with Suffering retreats (although all are welcome even if you have not participated in BWS 1 or 2). To act with principled compassion is possible even in the midst of a complex political and clinical reality if one has developed the capacity to tap in to the resources of a stable mind, focused attention, ethically sound intention, attunement to self and other, and conservation of what will serve. But even principled compassion needs to be held without attachment to outcome, and an ability to recognize and bring one’s efforts to an honorable ending.
