Your Heart Was Made for This: Spiritual Resources for Resilience

  • Spirit Rock Meditation Center 5000 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard Woodacre, CA, 94973 United States (map)

How can our contemplative practice be a resource for the immense challenges of our times? How can we sustain ourselves on the arduous road to individual and collective liberation?

Join author and Dharma teacher Oren Jay Sofer for this special, hybrid daylong (in-person and online) at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Oren will offer teachings from his new book, Your Heart Was Made For This: Contemplative Practices to Meet a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love.

This day long program will explore three essential qualities on the path to transformation—aspiration, energy, and rest—with practical suggestions for how to cultivate and apply them in your life and work. The afternoon will include time for silent meditation, reflection, discussion, and questions, and will be followed by a book-signing with the author. (Books will be available for purchase on site at the Spirit Rock bookstore.)

All are welcome, no prior experience necessary. This event is offered on a sliding scale. This event will be recorded; audio recordings will be available for those who register.
