“Love and Justice are not two. Without inner change, there can be no outer change. Without collective change, no change matters.”
Awaken - Meditations on Love, Justice, and Healing
Bite-sized mindfulness and journaling practices that engage with today’s social, political, and cultural world. If you believe the path to social change and justice for people and planet involves both outer and inner work, Awaken is for you.
Process This Overwhelming World
Our practices address and respond to current events and dominant cultural themes, helping us not just digest and process what’s going on, but cultivate our inner wisdom and creativity in how we respond. We believe meditation is a crucial part of our resistance.
Practice with Your People
Awaken is for people who know we can collectively do better than the fear and hate that seem to be on the rise today.
Healing from Systems of Oppression
Racism. Patriarchy. Capitalism. The stress, anxiety, and trauma that results from these (and so many others) aren’t your fault - and yet we must heal from them if we are to live our best lives. Our practices bring this healing to the forefront.
Diverse Offering of Practices
Much more than mindfulness meditation, our practices include movement and artistic expression practices, contemplative journaling and more!
Revolutionary Teachers
Our Founding Teachers - Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Lama Rod Owens, and Sensei Greg Snyder - are leading lights at the intersection of mindfulness and social change. Their books, teachings, and practice centers are pioneering the inner and outer change-making work that we so desperately need in these times.
