Cultivate mindfulness, loving-kindness, and positive change for yourself and our world with wise guidance from 15 renowned spiritual teachers and activists.

Join Us for this Free 5-Day Online Summit.
Faced with uncertainty, pain, grief, and anxiety, it can feel tempting to shut down and close off. But more than ever, this moment is a call to action to re-awaken our innate courage, compassion, and resilience. It’s time for us all to re-open our hearts.

Join 15 renowned meditation teachers, spiritual leaders, and social activists over 5 days for insightful teachings and helpful practices to pause, listen, and awaken our hearts and minds as we look to a shared future based on wisdom and compassion.

This timely event offers a special opportunity amid our collective crises–not least of all this time of national protest addressing racial injustice and social inequality–to reflect deeply and re-open our hearts to a path of positive change for ourselves and the world. 

Sign up for free to explore dozens of video teachings, guided meditations, and reflection exercises offered on five key themes:

  1. Re-Awakening Starts with You
  2. Re-Awakening from Fears and Challenges
  3. Re-Awakening Our Connection to Others
  4. Re-Awakening in the Light of Covid-19
  5. Re-Awakening to All Beings and Our Planet

We hope you will join us for this special opportunity to practice and reflect together on the path of mindfulness, loving-kindness, and compassion.
