THE POWER OF AWARENESS with JACK KORNFIELD & TARA BRACH

Transform every day by living with mindfulness

Awareness is the doorway to recognizing and understanding our own thought patterns, feelings, and beliefs—and how they cause suffering.
It’s also an ongoing exercise in self-compassion and acceptance that frees us to live more fully.

This foundational seven-week course will teach you how to develop and deepen your practice of living with intention, nurturing an intuitive knowing of mind and body that leaves you feeling more awake and alive.

Course begins on April 19, 2023

Living in the present is harder than it sounds

So many of us have the intention to take time for ourselves, to be still and meditate, but it often ends up at the bottom of our lists because life simply takes over. We live our lives running from task to task, distraction to distraction—and then worry that we haven’t accomplished anything meaningful.

Training that dramatically shifts how you experience life

When you make awareness an ongoing practice using mindful meditation, you open up a new way of being. You’re free to ditch the negativity that can often drive your moods and actions. You’re open to living fully and with a joy that’s not based on conditions. And you’re able to connect more authentically with those around you.

The Power of Awareness provides practical instruction that’s centered on creating a sustainable daily practice, allowing you to:

Break free from negative thoughts
Achieve inner balance and peace
Enjoy deeper connections and intimacy

Course Curriculum

The Power of Awareness was created with YOU in mind. It is designed to be a transformative mindfulness training that gives you a system you can use for your own personal growth and transformation.

Click below to expand each week’s overview of the mindfulness training curriculum:

In Week 2, you’ll learn the art of bringing mindfulness to your emotions, feeling states, thoughts, and thought patterns.

Topics this week include:

Removing Blocks to Love
Transcending Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics
Cultivating Your True Connection in Relationships
Becoming a Steward of What You Have Been Given
Taking Care with the Energy of Your Sexuality
The Importance of Modesty or Sobriety with Intoxicants

Arriving in Your Life
Transcending the Negativity Bias
Transformation of Your Consciousness
Embodying Mindfulness for the Benefit of All

The Power of Awareness for a new world

If you’re feeling the heaviness of the world more acutely these days, you are not alone. Humanity is facing more uncertainty than ever. This is why Jack and Tara, along with two celebrated senior teachers, have evolved the deeply regarded Power of Awareness course—already taken by tens of thousands—to offer new training with a deepened commitment to engaged spirituality, equity, and cultural sensitivity.

This updated learning experience provides you with all of the tools and training you need—21 hours of teachings in total—to develop and, even more importantly, sustain a daily awareness practice using mindfulness meditation, allowing you to:

Break free from negative thoughts
Achieve inner balance and peace
Life more fully and with a joy that’s not based on conditions
Connect more authentically with those around you
Dramatically shift how you experience life
Nurture a deeper and more compassionate understanding of our complex world

Awareness is the superpower of our times

If there’s ever been a time for us to explore how to deepen our awareness, this is it.

With ongoing global health concerns, vast racial and economic disparities, and climate devastation, our world is desperate for greater understanding and compassion. When you understand the transformative, healing power of mindful awareness, you can dramatically shift the experience of your life, the people in it, and the world itself.

Developing awareness helps us navigate and respond with lovingkindness, rather than react along our same rigid patterns of thought. When you break free from your well-worn stories, you are able to respond with greater understanding and compassion. Awareness is a deeper knowing, a stabilizing that you can carry in all parts of your life.

One of the most beautiful things about mindful awareness is that anyone can develop it. Anyone can nurture a practice that helps them connect more meaningfully with others, take time for themselves, and widen their sense of who they are.

If this is something that calls to you, we invite you to experience The Power of Awareness, an in-depth mindfulness training program created to help you take the next step in your personal and spiritual evolution.

As you navigate the course’s twelve learning modules, you’ll learn valuable mindfulness skills, develop a regular meditation practice, and obtain a certificate from the Awareness Training Institute and the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley—all while you experience the power of awareness to transform your life and the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is The Power of Awareness for? Can anyone benefit from this course?

What’s the difference between The Power of Awareness and other forms of mindfulness training?

While there’s no shortage of online lessons on meditation and mindfulness, The Power of Awareness is truly in a class by itself, taught by some of the most experienced and celebrated teachers in the West. In addition to the invaluable support of personal mentoring groups, The Power of Awareness also offers something entirely unique—a reimagined approach to mindfulness training that includes more trauma-informed, diversity, and access-centered teachings with the intention to create a sense of belonging for all learners, no matter their background or experience with mindfulness. Through 26 core course video sessions, as well as movement, meditation, and retreat videos and carefully curated bonus material, you’ll receive a complete training experience— 21 hours—giving you a comprehensive foundation for a vibrant, lifelong practice.
