a life well lived

Last September, inspirational multimedia publisher, Sounds True, hosted Waking Up in the World - a special free 10-day gathering of some of the great spiritual teachers and social visionaries of our time.

The gathering was a collective call to "heal our hearts, cultivate courage, inspire action".

All our relations.

In this time, we need the wisdom of spiritual teachings to keep us grounded, faithful, and centered in our hearts. We need the skills of deep listening, holding multiple perspectives, and developing a strategic vision of positive change in order to truly bring our love into action.

This is what to explore together in Waking Up in the World.

• Turning towards our heartbreak and learning how it can be a gateway to our unique calling
• Training in new skills to tap our inner resources for strength and hope
• How to take the perspective of “the other,” uncover racial bias, and reflect deeply on questions of class and privilege
• How to find an unconditional joy in our connection with ourselves and each other
• What it means to stand with the most vulnerable members of our society and put yourself on the critical path of being a change-maker

Waking Up in the World is an invitation to explore new perspectives, reflect deeply, and join the ever-growing movement of people who are transforming themselves and the world.

Every generation has its tasks required to move our collective evolution forward. Let’s engage wholeheartedly in ours.

*Waking Up in the World was created to support the new Sounds True Foundation and its initial focus to fund scholarships to train a new generation of mindfulness teachers.
