The Power of Awareness
An Online Mindfulness Training to Transform Your Life with Awareness, Compassion, and Well-Being

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.

Curriculum Overview
Based on practical and accessible fundamentals, The Power of Awareness is designed to be a transformative mindfulness training that gives you a system you can use for your own personal growth and transformation.
Key Features of the Training Curriculum Include:
How to establish your practice and awaken to your body
You will focus on the basics of mindfulness while receiving the foundational practice of conscious breathing. You’ll learn how to harness the power of the body as a gateway to the world of sensations, so you can open your awareness in all domains of your life.
Mindfulness with your emotions and freedom with your thoughts
You’ll learn the art of bringing mindfulness to your emotions, feeling states, thoughts, and thought patterns. A big misconception is that mindfulness is somehow disconnected from emotions. Nothing could be further from the truth as you use your emotions to support and guide you on the path.
How to work with difficulty in your life
You’ll learn strategies to awaken to mindfulness and compassion when you’re in the thick of difficulty. You will see how to navigate trauma, strong fear, and the overwhelming feelings that can come with great loss, and balance these with a sense of presence and lovingkindness. We will look at tools for breaking free from reactivity and, instead, learning to consciously respond to life’s events.
Expanding love for yourself and others
You’ll learn about the powerful healing that self-forgiveness can bring to your life, and you’ll receive practical tools for deepening your self-forgiveness journey. Take this a step further by learning how to widen your “circle of compassion” and to forgive others in your life.
Becoming more empathetic and culturally sensitive
Increase your empathy and understanding through our innovative racial and cultural awareness training, with group discussions that support deep introspection. This training serves your own awakening and supports your capacity for respect, understanding, and attunement.
Creating mindful relationships
You will bring the skills of mindfulness to your relationships to deepen and strengthen your authentic bond with others. Move beyond unhealthy relationship dynamics and discover the importance of taking care of your sexual energy. Develop a mindful communication style focused on “non-harming.”
How to bring more awareness into your daily life and your care for the world
You’ll be taking the new skills you have developed and exploring how to sustain your mindful presence beyond this training program. Begin the process of discovery around the unique contribution you will make to the world as you extend your present lovingkindness beyond your immediate circle of influences.
