Awakened Heart: InsightLA's 2018 Benefit
Join us for InsightLA's 2018 benefit, The Awakened Heart: A Day of Practice with Jack Kornfield.

- First Presbyterian Church
- 1220 2nd St., Santa Monica, CA, 90401 (MAP)
This joyful day of transformative teachings,
wonderful stories, heart practices is about awakening together. In these
turbulent and divisive times, more than ever we need ways to steady our
hearts, calm our minds, clear our vision, and inspire our action.
We will
cultivate the qualities of courage and love, how to dwell in kind
awareness, and how to enhance our natural capacity for care and
connection, toward ourselves, our society and all beings.
Metta or friendly goodwill -- combined with [the other three Divine Abidings] compassion, sympathetic joy, and
equanimity and forgiveness -- are the revolutionary and necessary powers that can transform
our lives and mend our world.
A star at dawn, a drop of dew, an echo, a rainbow, and a dream.
Attendance for this daylong is limited. Proceeds from
this benefit support InsightLA's "Insight in Action" program, which
offers scholarships to those in need and provides meditation and
mindfulness training to caregivers and those on the front lines of
suffering. More

mindfulness practice to the West. He co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, with fellow meditation

universities worldwide...
