Compassion Training TODAY
The Inner Work of Radical Compassion: Transforming Difficult Emotions
Monday December 7th | 4:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. | Hoversten Chapel
This workshop is for persons who seek to deepen their skills and capacities for practicing engaged compassion. It is ideal for students, social justice activists, teachers, ministers, and anyone who seeks practical training in compassionate living. The workshop will offer a mixture of presentation, creative exercises, and discussion focused on understanding and transforming difficult emotions that often arise in interpersonal relationships and social actions that confront injustice.
Individuals who attend the workshop will:
-Develop skills for self-compassion
-Learn how to identify and transform difficult emotions (rage, depression, fear, disgust, etc.)
-Learn how to participate in social actions that confront injustice from a grounded place of love rather than from reactive anger or resentment
-Increase individual capacity to heal suffering in self, others, and institutions
-Develop a technique for relating to oneself, friends, family members, strangers, perpetrators, and even 'enemies' with genuine compassion.
Workshop Leader, Mark Yaconelli is the Co-Founder of The Center for Engaged Compassion where he served as the Program and Formation Director. Mark is a veteran retreat leader, author, storyteller, and community activist. He currently serves as the Executive Director of The Hearth Community in Ashland, Oregon.

Keeping Track of Auggies
PA Student Selected as Future Educator Fellow
Augsburg PA student Megan McGovern recently participated in the inaugural Future Educator Fellowship developed by the Physician Assistant Education Association (PAEA). She was selected through a competitive application process and was one of 25 PA students from across the country to participate in the two day fellowship experience at the PAEA Education Forum in Washington, D.C. on November 13-14, 2015. The fellowship was developed for PA students pursing a career in medical education and to assist students to begin building skills for transitioning into teaching roles. Fellows took part in sessions around issues of health education research, advocacy, and leadership. Megan will be graduating from the Augsburg PA Program in December 2015, and is interested in practicing in Pediatric Endocrinology.
As part of the Future Educator Fellowship, Megan and Jenny Kluznik, MPH, PA-C (Assistant Professor in the Augsburg PA Program) took part in Hill Day, a large-scale advocacy event for PA education. Megan and Professor Kluznik met with legislative staff from Congressman Keith Ellison's and Senator Al Franken's office to discuss two new pieces of legislation that were recently introduced before the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation seeks to increase resources of PA program and students, address issues such as student debt and loans, and overall aims to increase quality health care in underserved areas.
