30-Day Compassion It Challenge with Connection Crew
30-Day Compassion It Challenge with the Connection Crew
Why Now?
We’re living through turbulent times. Political division, climate anxiety, and personal stressors weigh heavily on us, and compassion is a powerful antidote. Research indicates it not only helps us cope but creates a ripple effect: our acts of compassion can inspire others to do the same. This challenge gives you a simple, structured way to strengthen compassion for yourself, your community, and our planet.
Why Partner with the Connection Crew by Covve?
We’re co-hosting with the Connection Crew because their mission perfectly aligns with ours: fostering real human connection. Together, we’re creating an experience that not only introduces compassion practices but also supports participants with facilitating the 30-Day Compassion It Challenge on their own, helping compassion spread even further.

During the most challenging moment of her life, Sara Schairer began pondering the power of compassion. Out of the blue, she noticed that the word compassionate sounded like the two words “compassion it,” making compassion a verb.
The life-changing practice of ‘compassioning it’ inspired Schairer to create the global nonprofit and social movement Compassion It. As a Stanford-certified compassion facilitator since 2012, she has developed and led experiential self-compassion, compassion, and mindfulness trainings internationally for thousands of people from all walks of life—including educators, healthcare providers, incarcerated individuals, and Big Tech leaders.
