Hear Directly from Your Guide

In this short video, Jack shares his heart's intention for this yearlong journey and what you can expect as we walk this path together.

"Why I Created This Program"

A personal invitation from Jack Kornfield

"The world needs your steadiness, your kindness, and your wise presence. This year, we'll cultivate these together."
β€” Jack Kornfield

🌟 Why Take This Program?

Because you want to stay human
in dehumanizing times.

Our world is filled with grief, conflict, climate anxiety, injustice, and rapid change. Without support, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or hopeless.

Remain grounded

in the face of uncertainty

Care deeply

without burning out

Engage wisely

with suffering and social division

Meet grief and fear

with compassion

Restore joy and courage

and inner balance

Reconnect

with community and the goodness within

You'll learn to face a turbulent world
not with fearβ€”
but with a steady, loving presence.

πŸ“… The Year at a Glance

A Spiral of Awakening

The year unfolds as a living mandalaβ€”softening the heart, strengthening the spirit, awakening joy, and guiding us toward compassionate service.

We begin by tending the heart. We learn to sit with sorrow without drowning, to feel grief without shutting down.

February

The Tender Heart of Awareness

We explore the "inner climate" of our own hearts.

March

Grief as a Teacher

Here we turn toward grief, not as a burden but as a doorway.

The Courage to Stay Present

We reclaim our nervous systems from overwhelm.

Having established a foundation of steadiness, we begin to express compassion outwardly.

May

Seeing Through the Eyes of Others

We practice empathy across differences.

June

Transforming Anger and Judgment

Anger becomes a teacher.

July

Love as a Verb

Compassion becomes movement.

These months restore joy as an essential nutrient for the engaged heart.

August

The Alchemy of Resilience

We explore resilience not as tightening but as opening.

September

Joy as Resistance

Joy becomes a revolutionary act.

October

The Light That Remains

We nurture faith in humanity.

In the final months, inner practice ripens into outer contribution.

November

The Call to Serve

We listen for what love is asking of us.

Common Questions About the Program

Everything you need to know before beginning your journey.

This program is for anyone who feels the pull toward wisdom, compassion, and engaged presence.

No prior meditation experience is required. Jack's teachings are designed to be accessible to beginners while offering depth for experienced practitioners. Whether you're new to contemplative practice or have been meditating for decades, you'll find meaningful guidance and growth opportunities throughout the year.
