Compassionate Action Network International

We work with interfaith communities (individuals and organizations) in cities to create cultures of compassion. We create materials and trainings to look at how to address social issues using compassionate action. For example, we are developing an educational curriculum for use in Pakistani schools. We have formed strong partnerships with Stanford University who is offering a training program that focuses on compassion as part of their teacher’s education program, TED (a website that has remarkable talks given by remarkable people doing great work in the world); Karen Armstrong and Louisville (a model Compassionate City), which is an active interfaith community.

Interspiritual Center of Vancouver Society

The work of the InterSpiritual Centre has three major areas of focus.  1. Serving the sacred in human community: We work to foster interspiritual understanding and collaboration by promoting opportunities for diverse groups and individuals to cultivate and share insights, teachings and practices.  2. Sharing sacred space: We share physical space on the Vancouver Unitarian campus, and look forward to working with organizational and/or institutional partners to develop larger multi-use facilities. 3. Honoring the sacredness of the Earth: One sacred space that all creatures share is Earth itself. See website for more.
