Compassion based Resilience Training

Nalanda Institute’s Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) is a complete, evidence-based method of training the resilience of mind, heart, and body we need to sustain lives of well-being, engagement and purpose in our interdependent world. It was developed and tested at the university hospitals of Columbia and Cornell, where it has been offered continuously since 1998.

The course empowers people to develop a more resilient mind, heart, and body by combining skills taught separately in other trainings—mindfulness, compassion, imagery, and breathwork—into one step-by-step introduction, providing the most cost-effective way of learning of the full spectrum of mind/body research and contemplative skills.

The course was developed by Joe Loizzo, MD, PhD, Founder and Director of Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science by integrating timeless techniques of contemplative self-regulation from India and Tibet with contemporary breakthroughs in neuroscience, positive psychology, and optimal health.
