about seeing goodness

Seeing Goodness was conceived over 15 years ago. While its application has evolved, the core motive and desired outcomes remain unchanged: we all benefit from seeing more goodness, love, and kindness in the world.

This project goes beyond showcasing acts of kindness. Studies show that the more goodness we witness, the more likely we are to emulate it. However, our purpose extends further – it's about transforming how we see.

Our world needs healing, and change begins with us. We aim to:

1. Develop greater awareness of the goodness around us, using all our senses
2. Recognize positive intent in others
3. Tap into the depths of our mind where heart and awareness meet
4. Deepen our connection to the abundant goodness within ourselves

We're on a journey of discovery, learning how to become better human beings. This involves:

• Unlearning biases and removing filters that color our perception
• Embracing the discomfort that comes with growth
• Learning from diverse experts – practitioners, researchers, even animals and children
• Sharing inspiring stories of goodness
• Adopting mindfulness practices fundamental to personal transformation

Our community meets online at least once a week, fostering a warm, supportive environment akin to a close-knit spiritual family, embracing members of many faiths and those of no faith at all. Here, we share, learn, and grow together, discovering the goodness not just within ourselves, but also in those around us. We create a space that encourages each person to nurture their own inner goodness while offering support and inspiration to others on their journey.

Additionally, we offer the eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program, led by a qualified instructor, both in-person and online. This evidence-based course provides valuable tools for cultivating mindfulness and reducing stress in daily life.

Imagine a world showered with love, kindness, and goodness. Envision how this might change our treatment of each other, our planet, and all its inhabitants. Consider the impact of being kinder to ourselves.

It's worth trying. Let's start now.

We invite you to join us on this transformative journey. Together, we can cultivate a more compassionate world, one act of goodness at a time.
