Awakening
Your Compassion
No matter how much pain and struggle we experience, we can still act from a core of love—an inexhaustible reservoir of energy and renewal.
In New Capacities
Develop key skills for “engaged spirituality”—such as cultivating peace in the midst of suffering, tapping into your unique gifts, and finding the link between spiritual work and social transformation.
With Courage and Love
Follow your calling to contribute and serve in your own way—and realize you are never alone.
Waking Up in the World was created to support the new Sounds True Foundation. Our mission includes funding scholarships for a new generation of mindfulness teachers in areas such as education, social justice, environmental activism, and youth work.
