Sit for Compassion

Sit for Compassion is a community challenge and peer-to-peer fundraising campaign in support of Awaken Pittsburgh’s mission to foster well-being, empathy, and compassion for all by teaching and encouraging mindfulness and meditation practices.

The challenge is simple – commit to sitting quietly and nurturing peace and compassion in yourself for a chosen period of time and inspire friends and family to donate to your sit. November 6th is the official date for Sit for Compassion 2022, but you’re welcome to sit any time during the month of November.
