Lucid: The Radical Generosity Podcast

In this episode Sendolo and Meg discuss the current ways that we relate to compassion and their alternative vision. The current ways compassion is seen in society is that it’s something that some people deserve and other’s do not, and it’s something that some people have the inner-capacity to give and others just don’t. Meg and Sendolo present an alternative idea, how compassion might actually be a generative and renewable resource and what shifting our relationship to compassion might mean for all of us. What if compassion is the natural response to suffering.Add your voice to the projectIf you have thoughts, ideas, suggestions, things you’d like to see us discuss in the future we welcome them all!
