Develop tools, skills, and insights that impact your ability to navigate an ever-changing world!
Find your center and your power,
laugh and have fun, create more joy in your life, and invite in more love and peace!

This course is for women who know they are here for a purpose,
and sense that their contributions are vital to the flourishing of the whole.
What consciousness do we need to bring about a new way of being
so we create a world that works for all?
How do we look with new eyes and recognize that All Life is sacred?
What personal skills do we need to bring forth the best within ourselves?
How could we respond so that we stay grounded, compassionate and resilient?
And could we serve as an anchor of wisdom and support for others?
Come explore these important questions with us!
Join Betsey and a group of kindred spirits for a course focused on the skills
needed to meet the challenges of this tumultuous time
with grace and equanimity,
to play our role in the Transformation from Empire to Earth Community.
“The Lojong slogans had been familiar to me through Pema Chodron’s work, for a long time, so I was drawn inexorably to Betsey’s book group, with a Zen perspective, having experienced Betsey’s rich teachings in the Oasis Cafe climate collapse gathering. Such a gift, this was, and as much as the study of the slogans, was Betsey’s wise, deep teachings…from her own rich experience in yoga, in so many deep spaces… ..grateful beyond words for it all.”
Jean Chapman, Retired Community Pediatrician

“Betsey is so grounded and clear in her teaching. The online Training in Compassion book club was very well organized with a clear structure each week, but there was also plenty of time for the participants to share and connect. This created a true sense of community that gave us all the support we needed to go deeper on our own personal journey.”
Wendy Andersen, JD and eRYT 500 Yoga Instrutor
