Description:
We all have good hearts. Seeing suffering around us, our natural instinct is to act to alleviate it.

And yet, given the countless sources of suffering in our world today, we can easily fall into the extremes of either spiritual bypass or compassion burnout. How do we know when to meditate, and when to get off the cushion?

Knowing “when” can be driven by many intentions: the alleviation of anger or fear, or the desire to support social justice.

Together, we’ll explore how to more readily access our good heart’s deep intentions, and to transform it into wise action. The day will include teachings on heart and wisdom-based practices, guided meditations, practical behavior-changing tools, skill-building exercises, discussion, and Q&A.


Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. The day’s focus is experiential. In going through the day’s exploration for putting “internal” intentions into “outer” practice, your own shifts will give you a more grounded sense how to then better access and motivate your clients. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.

Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
Based on the content of this program, you will be able to:

• Describe and utilize meditations to cultivate awareness and presence for stabilizing and centering self or client
