Nalanda Institute's Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) is a complete, evidence-based training in stress-reduction and self-healing developed and tested at the university hospitals of Columbia and Cornell, where it has been offered continuously since 1998. CBRT teaches the science and skills people need to reduce stress, build resilience, and cultivate lives of well-being, engagement, and purpose in our ever more interdependent and fast-changing world.
The training empowers people to develop a more resilient mind, heart, and body by combining skills taught separately in other trainings: mindfulness, compassion, imagery, and breath-work.
