A monthly membership program with Dr. Gabor Maté, Sat Dharam Kaur ND, and CI Facilitators
The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the stories people tell themselves–to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them…
~ Dr. Gabor Maté
We invite you to connect with us at Compassionate Inquiry®
We are excited to share a new monthly community membership, the Compassionate Inquiry® Connect Membership, created to support you on your inner and outer journey.
The Compassionate Inquiry® approach has helped thousands of people worldwide heal from deep wounds, gain clarity and choice, and reconnect with their authentic selves. With CI Connect, you are invited to continue this journey of discovery and healing.
As a member, each month you’ll join live sessions with Dr. Gabor Maté or Sat Dharam, and experienced CI Facilitators. Together we will:
- Explore the twelve core qualities that guide this work
- Learn practical tools for self-regulation
- Witness powerful demonstrations of the approach in action
- Practice and integrate these principles in a supportive community
Unlike our Professional Training, which requires a higher level of commitment, this monthly membership is open to those who are new to Compassionate Inquiry®, as well as graduates and professionals who wish to stay connected.
CI Connect offers a regular opportunity to learn and grow alongside Dr. Gabor Maté, Sat Dharam Kaur ND, and senior CI Facilitators. You’ll be invited to recognize patterns that keep you stuck, to meet your pain with curiosity rather than judgment, and to connect with yourself and others from a place of compassion and understanding.
We warmly invite you to join this monthly membership program, designed to guide you step by step through the transformative principles and practices at the heart of Compassionate Inquiry®.
With appreciation,
Dr. Gabor Maté, Sat Dharam Kaur ND,
and the CI Facilitator Team
P.S. All sessions are live online. Recordings are provided if you are unable to attend. We begin this journey of healing and transformation in October, and we would love for you to join us.

What Makes the Compassionate Inquiry Connect Membership Unique?
The CI Connect Membership offers an ongoing opportunity to practice self-inquiry, self-acceptance, and self-compassion while applying these principles in your relationships and daily life.
A regular Compassionate Inquiry® practice can help you meet life’s challenges with wisdom, presence, clarity, choice, and authentic connection.
Each month, you will receive access to:
2. Monthly Facilitator-Led Demos and Self-Explorations
Rotating CI Facilitators guide live demonstrations and explorations, including:
- Seeing CI in action and practice
- Healing through witnessing others’ processes
- Experiential learning and processing
- Guided self-inquiry and discussion
3. Monthly Embodiment, Self-Regulation, or Meditative Practice
One live session each month will focus on practices such as breathwork, movement, or self-care. These sessions support integration, enhance self-regulation, and provide tools for both personal and professional life.
We were wounded in relationships, and we heal in relationships. The Compassionate Inquiry community is a healing container where we can experience acceptance, support, validation, and compassion. When others mirror us for who we are, rather than for who they expect or need us to be, we anchor into our essence, into the roots of our being, and can grow into a sturdy and authentic expression of ourselves.
– Sat Dharam Kaur ND
Explore Compassionate Inquiry’s Qualities in Monthly Themes
Each month, we will focus on one CI quality in depth. Together as a community, we’ll explore how to bring these qualities into our daily lives and professional practice.

Kari
“Insightful, impactful and powerful!! Cristina led our group with grace and compassion! She is authentic and intimately connects with each member of our group. Thank you Gabor Mate’ for your teachings and sharing your gifts with humanity.”
Denise
“Powerful process that allowed me to connect with my essence whilst being held by benevolent witnesses. This is certainly a programme to do again and again.”
Ade
“I knew this would be powerful and transformative; but I did not expect the depth of connection and sense of safety I would experience with the members of our circle and our amazing facilitator. Every session was so inspiring, deeply authentic and heartwarming. To go through this healing journey and self-discovery with a group of individuals whose stories and insights are so relatable to all of us was an experience that has forever changed me.
This is a course for people who want to have the best and most organized mental health change agents in the world working with each member. I have gained tremendous insight into myself and how others operate in this world. ”
Stephen
“I have been growing with your help. You gave me some tools I find so useful to uncover my imprinted memories. It is the kind of thing I dreamed of some years ago and it is now accessible to me – I can, in the present moment, distinguish if the emotion I am living is something related with my past. I try to feel the sensations in my body related to any emotion and look at it as possibly a window into my story. I am thankful.”
Maria
