Our Classes
Learn and grow together.
In-Person Classes
Compassion Fix in-person classes are designed to nourish both heart and mind.
Each session offers a chance to slow down, learn something meaningful, and be part of a caring community that values growth, empathy, and genuine human connection.
All are welcome.
All classes are held at our Compassion Fix® Studio, 12122 State Line Rd, Leawood, KS
Every third Tuesday night at Compassion Fix, Anne Potter Russ, content manager for The Independent, invites you to gather for your own writing salon—a welcoming space to write, share, and connect with fellow writers.
Come for prompts if you are stuck, come for accountability, or come to work on a project that needs some attention.
Bring your notebook or computer and a current writing project, and we'll help each other. (Work on outlines, organization, overcoming blocks, or just enjoy the chance to commit some time to continuing your practice of writing.)

Join us for this two-part webinar and watch at a time that works best for you! Both sessions will be pre-recorded, and all participants will receive a link one the dates listed to revisit the content whenever they need it.
This two-part class led by teen & parent therapist Kim Brown is designed for parents of children of all ages and explores one of the most challenging aspects of parenting-knowing when to step in and offer support, and when to step back and allow our children to struggle, make mistakes, and learn from their experiences.
As parents, we want to protect our children from disappointment and hardship, but we also want to help them develop the resilience, confidence, and skills they need to navigate life's challenges.
The second session will be dedicated to Q&A, giving you the opportunity to submit questions in advance. We will address your questions and explore real-life parenting challenges together.
In this class, we’ll delve into Perfectionism… What it’s desperately trying to hide … Why it’s the most dangerous human defense mechanism… and How to finally let go of who we think we should be, to embrace the messy, beautiful, authentic way to come alive.

Hosted by grief specialist Jennifer Eckert, Widows in Connection is a welcoming space to gather with other women who understand life after loss. Each gathering offers time for meaningful conversation and connection, along with something nurturing, perhaps a guest speaker, creative activity, or gentle wellness practice.
Come as you are. There’s always a seat for you.

Join Dr. Lyndi Hinkle, occupational therapist and founder of qualOT, as party of our “Aging with Intention Series.” This session explores what it really takes to age well at home, built around three pillars: safety, connection, and purpose. We'll cover the warning signs (both obvious and easy to miss) that signal it may be time for a change, walk through the real costs and flexibility of private home care, and bust some common myths about senior living. We'll close with practical, low-conflict language families can use to start these conversations together.
Adult children and their loved ones are encouraged to attend together. Sharing this information as a family can help everyone feel more prepared, informed, and confident when navigating healthcare decisions together.

Welcome to Somatic Flow, a fun, gentle way to release tension, connect mind and body and balance your nervous system.
Stress, anger, anxiety …these emotions aren’t just affecting our mood. They can dysregulate our nervous system and create tension and inflammation in our body that persist long beyond the triggers.
Join Lauren Claflin, Neuro-Transformation Coach, as we explore peaceful movement and yoga sequences linked with breathwork to help us process and release that tension. We’ll end with a guided meditation to seal in our intentions and find our flow.

Join Jennifer Eckert and special guest Dorothy Tannahill-Moran, Certified Vibrational Sound Therapist for a sound bath and meditation created to help you find that same equilibrium within yourself.

What is a Sound Bath & Meditation?
This is done as a group with members either sitting or lying on the floor. The gentle healing effects of the harmonic sounds emitted by the various Tibetan singing bowls used will create a deeper mediation and sense of relaxation. The idea is that you are “bathed” in sound while you are meditating.
What if I or someone doesn’t know how to meditate?
Dorothy will provide instruction on meditation suitable for people who have never meditated all the way to advanced meditators. No one will be left out or not be able to take advantage of this type of event.
$35/person
