Compassionate Integrity Training

Join us for an 11-week journey that will forever change the way you view others and the world around you. Next cohorts begin January 2021!!

Have you ever seen someone deal with any situation that comes their way calmly, with care and consideration? Have you ever looked at them and wondered how they accomplished that? What about an individual who has a sense of gratitude for all things around them? Did you ever wonder if you could learn how to do those things as well? When we learn how to calm our bodies and minds, deal effectively with our emotions and treat others with kindness, dignity, and compassion, we have the ability to create a better world. How can we learn these skills? Compassionate Integrity Training (CIT) is a great place to start!


CIT is a resiliency-informed program that cultivates human values as skills, so we can thrive as individuals, and a society, within a healthy environment. By learning skills to calm our bodies and mind, becoming emotionally aware, learning to practice compassion for ourselves and others, as well as engaging with compassion in complex systems, we can build toward compassionate integrity: the ability to live one's life in accordance with one's values with a recognition of common humanity, our basic orientation to kindness and reciprocity. 


This course will include both large and small group discussions, experiential learning activities, reflective writing activities, mindful dialogues, and contemplative practices. Those who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion and will be eligible to enroll in the CIT Level 1 Facilitator Training Program. 

Join us in the next Compassionate Integrity Training

The next CIT Cohort begins on Wednesday, January 20, 2021 and meets weekly from 11am-1pm EST / 8am-10am PST via Zoom.

  • What is included in the CIT course?

    Each week, CIT will meet via Zoom for a two-hour live, facilitated learning session. Each session will teach a new skill through experiential exercises, break-out group activities, 1:1 dialogue, and other unique and interactive activities. In addition to the live sessions, you will receive a reading assignment for each skill, journal prompts, contemplative practices, and other activities to complete either in the live session or on your own between sessions.

  • Do I have to attend every live session?

    While we understand that life happens, we encourage you to be present at the live sessions whenever possible. Each week will build upon previous skills, so it is important that you are able to attend as many sessions as possible.

  • What if I cannot attend one of the sessions?

    If you have to miss a session for any reason, the replay will be available for you to watch.

  • I heard there is an accountability partner component. What does that entail??

    Yes, to allow for deeper integration of the CIT skills, the program has a guided "accountability partner" component. This not only empowers you to connect with different participants from around the world, but also provides you with an extra layer of support and accountability as you dive into the practices each week.

  • Is there a certificate of completion?

    Yes! At the end of the course, all participants who attend 8+ of the live sessions will receive a CIT Certificate of Completion.

  • Is there a way to communicate with other participants and/or the facilitators between sessions?

    Yes! You will have the ability to engage in weekly discussions that are embedded in the course player. In addition, you'll have access to a private facebook group that will allow you to easily communicate with other participants. You will also have the ability to email the facilitator(s) directly between sessions.

  • I am interested in taking CIT, but I cannot afford $250 right now.

    We understand that some may be experiencing financial difficulty, especially in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. In the spirit of LIFE University's Lasting Purpose, along with a desire to spread CIT around the world, we are happy to accommodate all participants, regardless of ability to pay the $250 fee.
