“Nice matters.”
This is what a friend said to me recently when I told her about the Search Inside Yourself (SIY) #PracticeKindness event I’m hosting on Wednesday, November 13.
The reason I chose SIY for my mindfulness teacher certification was because of Search Inside Yourself Leadership Institute (SIYLI)’s global vision. The #PracticeKindness initiative on World Kindness Day is the perfect example.
I’m honored and delighted to be joining over a hundred SIY teachers around the world hosting live events to discuss, practice, and celebrate our common humanity, kindness, and compassion in the workplace and in our communities. By creating an intentional pause on World Kindness Day to practice kindness together, we believe we can contribute to making the world a more connected and compassionate place.
If you are based in the Washington, DC, metro area, please join us at 7 pm at Caffé Amouri in Vienna, VA, to:
· explore the science of kindness and compassion
· practice a mindfulness-based kindness exercise
· discuss how to integrate kindness into our lives
· act by making a pledge to bring more kindness to the world
I’m super grateful to our fabulous locally owned coffee shop Caffé Amouri, located at 107 Church Street, NE, Vienna, VA, for offering this free event through their community-building Penny University series.
Space is limited, so save your spot by registering at http://bit.ly/practice_kindness.
If you can’t join us at Caffé Amouri, you can still be part of the #PracticeKindness initiative on World Kindness Day!
SIYLI is also hosting a livestream event on November 13 at 9 am PST / noon EST, with SIYLI CEO Rich Fernandez, Mirabai Bush, and Jamil Zuki. Close to a thousand people around the world have already registered. Join them to add to the world’s collective kindness energy by signing up for the livestream at https://siyli.org/practice-kindness#join.
Perhaps you’d like to bring your work colleagues or a group of friends together to watch the livestream. Shoot me an email (and even more fun — a photo) if you do!
Here’s to celebrating and strengthening our capacity for kindness. Let me know how you plan to honor World Kindness Day!
