Really love all of the talks from @UCSDCompassion today!! Particularly, there was a lively conversation about how identity mediates the experience of individual/interpersonal altruism, empathy, love and compassion - important steps on path to the neuroscience of justice!!!

@FembeNR@YouTube Thank you so much my dear!! I am looking to jump start a conversation around this topic so communities like ours can create safe spaces to practice and explore what “contemplative practices” mean to US. Any feedback or comments you have now and in the future are most welcome!!!
