Circles of Compassion

The Circles of Compassion is a framework that describes expanding levels of care and empathy, starting from oneself and extending outward. It begins with self-compassion, then encompasses close relationships with family and friends, followed by community and colleagues, and ultimately broadens to society and all living beings. This model encourages individuals to nurture kindness at each level, recognizing that compassion grows strongest when caring begins internally and extends outward, fostering greater understanding, connection, and well-being across multiple spheres of life.
