When fear and division shake our communities, a deeper knowing stirs. This is not a time to stand aside. It’s a time to deepen presence, steady our hearts, and step into service for our world.
Join Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, and Tami Simon for a pre-recorded, heart-opening conversation about what it means to offer ourselves as a source of presence and care in a world that is filled with violence and injustice. Together, we’ll explore how teaching mindfulness and compassion can be a powerful act of collective healing.

This is an invitation to those who feel the call to serve—to nurture inner freedom, to widen circles of care, to help create a more awake, just, and loving world.
