A remembering and returning to Love.
This pillar is our foundation — The root of all wave-making.

How can we make generosity and connection as present as the air we breathe?

Compassionate Las Vegas – The Podcast is part of the grassroots organization whose mission is to foster the Charter for Compassion and the movement of compassion in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. Compassion acts as our guiding principle. Nearly all moral and religious institutions suggest a version of the Golden Rule that we should “do to others as you would have them do to you”, and yet we are a world divided.
