We are at a UNIQUE TIPPING POINT in hystory. Each of us holds WEIGHT and POWER.  If you are ready to be a part of the REVOLUTION toward a COMPASSIONATE and EQUITABLE future, TCR Workshops, Retreats, and Courses will help you establish healthier habits, a plan and steps toward the goal of Compassionate cultural change, and the opportunity to collaborate with others in the Movement. Your participation will change you. Your changes will ripple out to those you serve, your community, the world, and beyond.

 

We all hold within us Trauma as old as the Big Bang.  When we learn to recognize our own internalized trauma, learn and use tools to heal it, and commit to this process as an ongoing lifestyle, we are HEALING THE PAST and CHANGING THE FUTURE. We are breaking a pattern - no longer passing trauma on to our descendants.  We can restructure our mind and lifestyle to include daily releases of stress, ongoing healing of trauma, a realistic reframing and acceptance of loss, a deep reverence for Grief as Sacred Teacher, and a gentle allowing of the ongoing process of grieving. When we do these things, we are doing our part to help create a compassionate and equitable future for ourselves, our family and friends, those we serve, our community, and the world.  We are embodying the change. We are supporting this change in others. We are changing the culture. We are being part of the solution. 

​

TCR workshops, retreats, and courses offer professional, effective, ongoing Educational Training and Compassionate Support for those ready to make this commitment.

About

TCR

The Compassionate Revolution (TCR)  is an emerging university, a collaboration, a project, an evolving library, and an experiential learning forum.
​

TCR was founded by Ami Ji Schmid and enhanced by friends and colleagues, born from a shared vision for a supportive educational setting where we can (personally and collectively) evolve compassion. It's a place for:

  • learning, listening more deeply, and communicating from our loving brain and heart

  • strengthening our commitment toward a whole sense of Self, stepping more fully into the present, and following our higher calling

  • consistently re-aligning ourselves toward an equitable and sustainable world culture that includes healing and compassion

  • becoming a role model, mentor and contributor within the emerging culture of compassion

  • creating compassionate writing meant to be shared with the world

 

WHY THIS? WHY NOW?

 

The realization that the world is broken has become more visible to more people and we are at a tipping point:

  • pandemic(s), environmental crisis, political divide, a long-overdue increased awareness of social and racial injustice, gun violence and ongoing wars 

  • all-time high levels of “diseases of despair” (addiction, depression and suicide) due to loneliness, stress, trauma and loss 

​

LET'S JOIN TOGETHER.

TOGETHER WE CAN DECIDE HOW TO MOVE FORWARD.

​​​

There is a solution, and it is housed in compassion. Compassion starts with understanding... understanding that every person has daily and accumulated stress, personal and collective trauma, large and small losses, and much to grieve. 

 

When we allow Grief to be part of our life and to become our sacred teacher, we begin to understand compassion; we begin to find the solution to calming the world's madness.

 

You are invited to be part of the solution. You are invited to join The Compassionate Revolution.

​

Participants of TCR workshops, retreats, and courses will be authentically and compassionately supported while deep diving into self-care and healing practices, and expanding our Spiritual Allyship.

 

TCR workshops, retreats and courses offer personal journeys and educational training, and are a hotbed for collaboration toward change.

​

TCR Workshops, Retreats, and Courses include:

​

  • time to personalize and metabolize new material and (re)build healthy habits

  • an introduction to racial and social justice practices and spiritual allyship

  • ongoing opportunities to listen for your personal calling, strengths, and areas to (compassionately) heal, transform and grow

  • Mindfulness and meditation practices

  • opportunities to understand and practice forgiveness and radical self-acceptance

  • learning and practicing clear, compassionate, non-violent and authentic communication

  • ongoing, supported time and space to build trust, connections and collaboration

  • the opportunity to meet Grief as Sacred Teacher

  • time to document your journey 

 

The curriculums are designed to cultivate intimate, cathartic and transformational experiences and connections, and to establish a personal and shared commitment toward creating a compassionate and equitable world for all to live in. TCR Workshops, Retreats, and Courses are designed for personal and professional growth.​​

“In one session with Ami I got what I didn’t get after decades of psychotherapy and coaching. ”

A session with Ami has provided me with more insight, a deeper perspective of my grieving process, and the freedom to feel without shame or embarrassment. It was a release during a time that I felt no-one would understand. But, more than this, I will forever be grateful for Ami’s warmth and gentle honestly. I highly recommend Ami for anyone seeking emotional healing.

Sessions with Ami have turned out to be literally life-changing. Where I had fallen into deep depression, Ami helped me acknowledge the powerfully strong sadness of grief that ebbs and flows and reframe my thinking in ways I had never imagined. Through Ami’s gentle and wise guidance, feeling a sense of peace seems so possible now. I am more grateful than I can ever express.

Working with Ami is a Spirit-driven and grounding experience. I have felt safe to explore the deep, scary, hurt, and angry parts of myself. Ami’s therapeutic style is respectful, professional, authentic and warm; she becomes a wise guide, navigating my confusing circumstances. I feel seen and heard for who I am and what I have to offer, and empowered by the transformation that occurs during our sessions.

Ami’s in-depth knowledge and incredible ability to apply it has been nothing short of life-changing for me. Ami is kind-hearted, talented,intelligent, and thorough in each session. I feel so blessed to have found Ami, and wish everyone seeking guidance could have the opportunity to work with such a master. I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience as Ami’s client. I am truly so very thankful.

"Ami has been my meditation teacher since 2019. I have been able to immerse myself in my meditation practice in a way I had never experienced before... overcoming some of my mental & spiritual blocks. She emphasizes the connection between one's mental and spiritual state with the world around us... with one another and our inner selves. Her method has been balancing and comforting for me and others... [and] Ami's artistic, therapeutic, and rewarding approach to teaching meditation is only enhanced by her love and belief in people."
