CompassionCon 2023 will be a Fall event centering on the viral nature of compassion when our communities prioritize our common humanity and interdependence. This interactive festival-like conference will uplift the positive impact compassion has on our social and community contexts of health.

This gathering will develop awareness, education, and action around compassion for self, others, systems, and the Earth. The goal is to help people realize that we must care for each other and build communities around a culture of care that supports everyone’s well-being.

This festival is an opportunity to celebrate our interconnectedness while we build healthier communities together. Join us for music and art, wellness activities, food trucks, mobile health care units with blood pressure testing, HIV testing, Mpox vaccines, as well as the distribution healthcare resources and access to care.

CompassionCon 2023 will be in partnership with our rural partners and will be an opportunity for rural grassroots community health and equity organizations to network and engage with urban partners. 

We invite you to participate
