This free video is an introduction to Jon’s eight-session online learning intensive, Opening to Our Lives. In it, you’ll discover how a regular mindfulness meditation practice can:

Help you recognize and embody your own wholeness
Tap into a greater field of possibilities, insight, and creativity for yourself and others
Contribute to waking up and healing the world and its institutions in ways little and big
​Strengthen your own resilience, ethical grounding, and integrity in uncertain and morally challenging times
Help you to launch your own practice of mindfulness both formally and informally, or
​Revitalize, deepen, and broaden your meditation practice if you already have one
