Dramatically Shift How You Experience and Respond to Life, Relationships, and the Real-World Issues We Face Today
You can’t always avoid difficult situations, but you can control how they affect you.
It’s a power you can learn, a power of connection, compassion, and, yes, awareness.
And through that power, you can not only discover peace, liberation, and relief for yourself, you can also become a catalyst for positive change in the world.
DEAR FRIEND,
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 12 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.

MODULE 11
Widening the Circles of Compassion
In Module 11, you’ll embrace the call to action at the heart of this course: shifting outward from personal and relational mindfulness and offering your compassion to the world.

LESSONS INCLUDE:
Bodhisattva Path
The World’s Suffering and Healing
