Compassion & Neurodiversity-Informed Mindfulness

This session highlights the essential role of compassion in neurodiversity-informed mindfulness. Drawing on her recent work, Sue introduces a range of compassion-based practices designed to create safe and welcoming environments for neurodivergent individuals. Joined by autistic scholar Jan Wozniak, the session emphasizes the importance of savoring moments of joy in a world that is not always accommodating for neurodivergent people.

• Learning: Breaking compassion practices down into accessible components for a range of minds.

• Practice: SIP of Kindness - explore a three-step compassion practice involving Sensation, Image, and Phrase.
