Sounds True and the Awareness Training Institute present
Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield
The Need for Skilled Mindfulness Teachers in Times of Global Turmoil
Join Tami Simon for a conversation with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach about why our world needs more mindfulness teachers today and how we can become a transformative force for healing and positive social change by:
-
Cultivating a deeper sense of awareness and compassion -
Shifting our focus from individual to collective well-being
-
Awakening the wisdom of interdependence for a more just society
-
Dedicating ourselves to engaged spirituality to foster a more equitable world
“The violence and suffering in our world arises because we forget who we are. We forget our belonging to one another, and to earth. Mindfulness reconnects us.”
—TARA BRACH
