Interfaith. Interspiritual. Interspecies.
Join us on December 15, 2024 for our next Sunday Service with special guests Sharron Ganon & Rev. Ginny Mikita
Sharon Gannon is the founder, along with David Life, of the Jivamukti Yoga method.
She has been called a pioneer in teaching yoga as spiritual activism and is credited for making yoga cool and hip—relating ancient teachings of yoga to the modern world. Sharon’s book, Yoga and Veganism has been called the “seminal” work on the subject, a ground-breaking work that explores the relationship of veganism to the teachings found in Patanjali’s yoga sutra.
Reverend Ginny Mikita is an ordained Animal Chaplain and Animal-Friendly Attorney.
Ginny and her husband, Bob Kruse, have their own compassion- and social justice-based law practice, Mikita Kruse Law, in which they represent those whose voices have been silenced - neglected, abused and unaccompanied refugee children, LGBTQ+ individuals (particularly transgender folx), animals and those who care for and provide them with medical and shelter services and incapacitated adults. In 2018, Ginny was among the first class of inductees into the Animal Friendly Attorneys™ program, a service designed to meet a need among people who care about animals and are seeking legal services.
Are you feeling compassion fatigue?
Animal Chaplain Alaina Sigler is offering a much-needed service for those involved in animal advocacy. Whether you are a shelter worker, founder of an animal rescue, veterinarian or vet technician, or perhaps an activist for wild animals, it’s important to have a safe place where you can find support for the challenges you experience in your work. It’s also a place where you can provide that support to other animal activists.
The Emotional Support Group for Animal Activists meets the second Monday of every month at 5:00 PM Pacific / 6:00 PM Mountain / 7 PM Central / 8 PM Eastern
The Compassion Consortium, in conjunction with Vegan Meditation, is offering a weekly online peaceful half-hour of vegan-oriented meditation and mindful sharing.
The Compassion Consortium, in conjunction with Vegan Meditation, is offering a weekly online peaceful half-hour of vegan-oriented meditation and mindful sharing.
We’ll meditate together in silence for 15 minutes, then share brief thoughts on a topic related to compassion, mindfulness or veganism. Our aim through this practice is to cultivate greater internal peace and presence, and to bring greater mindfulness and compassion to our interactions with the external world and all its inhabitants. David Simon, the Chair of the Compassion Consortium Advisory Board, will host each week.
We meet Monday evenings at 6pm Pacific / 7pm MT / 8pm CT / 9pm ET.
Navigating Grief with Rev. Ginny and Jess
Animal Companion Loss Grief Support Group
Rev. Ginny Mikita, JD/Animal Chaplain and Jess Hoffman, Animal Chaplain are inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
Are you or someone you know grieving the death of an animal companion? Recently or long ago?
All are warmly welcome to join our monthly online gathering on the second Thursday of each month from 6:30-7:30pm ET.
During our time together, we will gently explore all the feelings—grief, guilt, fond memories—with which we’ve been left and support one another by our presence and with words.
Please bring a photo and story or several to share.
about us
The Compassion Consortium is a non-sectarian center. We offer well-being resources, spiritual guidance, support, and community fellowship to Vegans, Vegetarians, animal rights activists, animal lovers, and all humans who care about and advocate for animals and the planet.
We recognize that many people do not see their deeply rooted compassion for all creatures reflected in houses of worship or spiritual centers; some people have even left faith traditions after seeing animals excluded from the level of mercy they deserve; in many cases, they're even denied the possession of a soul.
The Compassion Consortium is here to supplement this "missing piece" for persons who are part of another religious or spiritual community and those who are not affiliated ("nones") or identify as secular.
