Put love, compassion and wisdom in your personal and organizational playlist with an SF Love Dojo workshop!
Compassion helps reduce burnout and builds resilience. Ever heard “Fall down nine times, get up ten?” Compassion for ourselves and others helps us get back up after the routine and major setbacks we all face in life. Compassion helps us reach our goals, and connect to a bigger picture. Compassion empowers us to deal with difficult people and situations.
Compassion helps us connect.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column el_alignment=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1448396796666{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background: #f7f7f7 url(https://www.sflovedojo.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/god-to-you.jpg?id=72) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_custom_heading text=”Compassion is the foundation of human life.” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff|line_height:1.5″ google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20italic%3A400%3Aitalic” css=”.vc_custom_1532306611646{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: rgba(74,155,69,0.65) !important;*background-color: rgb(74,155,69) !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1447688555128{padding-top: 80px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”SF Love Dojo facilitators” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%233d3d3d|line_height:1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_separator_2 style=”line_symbol” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-users” color_line=”#e0e0e0″ color_symbol=”#666666″ padding_bottom=”30″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1447688777669{padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_employee image=”251″ href=”https://www.RaviChandraMD.com” target=”_blank” colors=”custom” description_bg=”#f7f7f7″ position_color=”#3d3d3d” separator_color=”#dbdbdb” description_color=”#494949″ desc_border_color=”#ededed” sc_bg=”#f7f7f7″ sc_color=”#3d3d3d” name=”Ravi Chandra, M.D., D.F.A.P.A.” position=”Founder” facebook=”https://www.facebook.com/SanghaFrancisco” twitter=”https://twitter.com” gplus=”https://plus.google.com/100232452984531163259?hl=en” linkedin=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/rchandra/”]Dr. Ravi Chandra is the founder and chief facilitator of SF Love Dojo’s offerings.
