About
I am so glad you're here! My name is Jenny and I'm a mother, wife, restorative practitioner, and public health professional. I believe that every person has a deep longing in their heart to belong to one another, and that in community we can find joy, safety, connection, rest, and above all, hope.
In early 2025, I sent an email to my dearest friends asking if they would be interested to periodically meet over Zoom in an effort to create an emotionally safe space to connect amidst the chaos that surrounded us. A beautiful experience was born, and the nonjudgmental validation, support, joy, and deep empathy that naturally manifested filled me with hope and light for the rest of the week. I recently felt called to expand this beautiful community, and thus the Compassionate Community Center was born!
If any of this resonates with you, my sincere hope is that you'll join us from the comfort of your sacred space as we take steps toward each other, honoring the dignity and humanity in each of us along the way. Please feel free to sign up for our email list below or to write to me directly at jenny@compassionatecommunitycenter.org. I would be honored to connect and to learn more about how compassion has impacted your life, and also how this community can best support you on your compassion journey.
What do we do?
We believe that crisis calls for community and that joining together is the most important remedy against fear and hopelessness. We are a virtual community that meets regularly to honor the dignity and humanity in one another, to hold space for one another, and to uplift compassion in ourselves, each other, and our communities.
What are Compassionate Community Calls?
Compassionate Community Calls are a completely free, biweekly opportunity to build hope. Like-minded folks log onto Zoom for an hour to connect in a safe, virtual space in which to find joy, safety, and connection. There is no preset agenda - rather, the goal of these calls is to create a compassionate, positive space for solidarity, sharing, and peace where we honor the dignity in each and every person. We currently meet on even Sunday evenings at 8:00pm ET, but we are happy to identify new times to meet to accommodate schedules. For call information or further details, please reach out to hello@compassionatecommunitycenter.org.
