Hi Jon, Would Compassion Action Network like to be the second sponsor to this conference? Compassionate Listening Project became the first sponsor.. I'd like to add your logo to the sponsor list?

This is a wonderful initiative. My deepest hope is that we also consider how we can collaborate with exisitng groups, initiatives, etc. that have similar goals. How do we embody cultures of compassion and peace - in our own lives, in all of the many ways we are already connected in the world? How do we get outside of the box of linear thinking to break through to a new way of being and doing?

Jon and CAN
I would like to talk with you on Skype about CAN being a sponsor of the conference and you hosting some panels.. Perhaps a panel on the relationship between empathy and compassion? ;-)

I agree Edwin... it would be great to help sponsor such a conference. I am willing to host a panel. I think we should include Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr.
Jon
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shall I add a link on the conference page that CAN is a sponsor?Edwin
I'm still needing to develop a concept of what sponsors do.. Some ideas
1. Lend name to conference2. promote conference to their members
3. facilitate panels
3. your idea here? do you have suggestions Jon since you've put on conferences before?
I'm also going to copy and past this thread to the conference group.
