"What if care is the organizing principle of our society? Care that is creative and tenacious, relentless and wholesome, abundant and kind. The kind of fierce love that helped us survive the pain, loss, and heartbreak of 2020" JM Wong

You are invited to join us for a 4-week course where we'll explore how compassion (for ourselves and others) is one of the best ways of dealing with challenging times, as well as a profound foundation for acting to create positive change. The paragons of humanity such as the historical Buddha, Christ, Martin Luther King Jr, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa, while imperfect, give us a model for cultivating compassion and other realizations for a conscious purpose-based life. As the Dalai Lama says: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."

Being a Badass gives us the ability to cut through what gets in the way of our inspired action and enables us to stay the course through the ups and downs of creating meaningful change or birthing something new for ourselves, our family or community.

Each 90-minute session of the course will include time for discussion, as well as effective practices and strategies to support your journey to the fulfillment of a passion project, a dream or change in your life.  

Session 1: The Power of Inspired Action – Being both a Buddha and a Badass and how do you access the power of this extraordinary path 

Session 2: Rooted in the Heart (Courage) – Connecting deeply with your heart and purpose to discover and ignite your inspired role and greatest contribution

Session 3: Creating a Vision for Ourselves & Our Communities – Acting inspired by wisdom and compassion and supported by clarifying your vision 

Session 4: Idea to Achievement – Exploring universal frameworks and strategies for realizing your dreams, mission, or vision.   

Bonus: Complimentary 30-minute 1-on-1 Action Discovery session with Shadi to help you discover the most important action(s) for you to take for the fulfillment of your heart's desires in life, work or mission. Next step or first step, this free integration session will give you greater clarity and focus and help you develop your unique strategy for taking inspired action.

Your Course facilitator: Shadi Mogadime 

Shadi (pronounced so it rhymes with buddy) has been a student of many modalities in 30+ years of spiritual and personal growth exploration. Her deepest dive is in esoteric Buddhism with her teacher Lama Marut and in the practices of meditation, yoga, and qigong as well as other wellness technologies. For the last five years, she has used these experiences and the knowledge she developed to mentor organizations and coach individual clients from around the world.  

Shadi feels fortunate to have spent her 25-year professional career in the charitable sector fundraising and marketing for the missions of crucial humanitarian causes, arts & culture non-profits, and social change organizations. Along with her ongoing coaching and mentoring work, her current focus is a company she launched in December 2020 in response to requests from clients and community members called Conversations for World Change. Its mission is to help people realize and thrive as they live their mission in life and work.
