Equanimity Based Compassionate Action [EBCA]
​​
This 6-week, 12-hour programme helps ‘striking the balance between compassionate care for self and others’ which has been validated by the University of Bolton.
​
Core Focus:
• Puts equanimity—the ability to remain balanced amid challenges—at the center of mindful action.
• Connects mindfulness to wise decision-making and moral clarity in compassionate responses.
Unique Features:
• Especially helpful for DEI initiatives in organisations and for those in service professions (e.g., healthcare, humanitarian work).
• Focuses on developing inner emotional neutrality, not detachment.
EBCA is a bespoke training to align with organisational needs in a professional or social context. This process takes the challenges an organisation faces and provides definitive application of how to deal with them through compassion and equanimity. Enhancing self-awareness in the context of a professional contract provides the foundation for a deeper appreciation towards ethical and empathic business interactions.
This training also allows solutions to be tailor-made and may include conflict resolution, team building, attainment of strategic objectives through pro-social interventions, addressing religious conflict and tolerance, reducing socio-economic biases and understanding and managing political bias.
