Atlanta CompassionCon 2022 will be a Springtime three-day, multi-city event throughout Georgia, 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. CompassionCon will develop awareness, education, and action around compassion for self, others, 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 which supports everyone’s wellbeing. CompassionCon is an opportunity to celebrate our interconnectedness while we build healthier communities together. The festival will include music and art, wellness activities, food trucks, mobile heath care units with blood pressure testing, HIV testing, blood drive, covid vaccines, as well as the distribution of diapers and hygiene products.
On your own – We invite you to honor your entire personhood by practicing self-compassion. We will have partner hosted events throughout the city and online. Care for your mind through an awareness meditation. Listen your body through an online yoga class. Walk a local labyrinth to hear your spirit.
Day 2 – Saturday
Compassion for each other
With us – We will come together for a fun festival outdoors in the park. There will be theater, partner booths, food trucks, activities for children, story-telling time. This is a time for you to connect with organizations that center compassion in their work and with like-minded people who want more kindness in the world. This is how we build our interconnectedness as a community and amplify the voice of compassion throughout the city.
Day 3 – Sunday
Compassion for the Earth
On your own – We will show our compassion for the earth by connecting with nature. Our partners will distribute a list of hikes, parks, and nature trails in the area. You can plant a tree, volunteer with an organization, or visit a local park you have not visited before and share your experience with us on social media.
