Other CBCT® Courses

Each year, we hold a 4-day CBCT retreat, which is an excellent opportunity for those who have already taken a full CBCT course to deepen their practice and connect with community.  

For participants in the 2025 Teacher Certification Program, this retreat is a required component, and you are automatically enrolled as part of your training cohort—no additional registration is needed. 

Registration for the 2025 Retreat has closed.

Financial Assistance: Our commitment is to try to make compassion training accessible to those who seek it. CBCT is a program of the Emory Compassion Center, a community-funded non-profit department of Emory University that relies almost entirely on course fees and donors to sustain its programs. Thus, the number of discounted registrations is limited. Please apply only if necessary. Please consider whether you may have access to funds from professional or personal resources that may be available for this purpose. 

Requests for this course have closed.

Cancellation and Refund Policy:   No refunds will be issued within seven (7) days of the start of the course.  If registration is cancelled prior to that time, your fee will be refunded less a $50 administrative fee.  We cannot split registrations over multiple courses.  No registration is guaranteed until payment is received.
