The program spans a full calendar year, providing monthly teachings, guided practices, and community engagement throughout that period.

Each month, simple bite-sized video modules going over the theme/topic will be unlocked, along with their adorning description, notes, quotes, transcript, and journal prompts (if applicable). These will be housed on JackKornfield.com – login at the top right, and then go to your “dashboard” and choose the Year of Awakening. You will have lifetime access to these teachings.

Each month there will be one livestream meetup. Eight of these meetups will be live online Q&A’s with Jack. The other four will be community “watch parties” or “movie nights” for Jack Dharma Talks, Meditations, and Wise Conversations. The link for these will be emailed prior to the session, as well as placed in the Discussion Forums on your Course Dashboard. Once completed, the recordings of these sessions will be added to your Course Dashboard so they can be re-experienced at your convenience.

• Each live online Q&A session with Jack will be around an hour long
• The live sessions with the facilitator will be online “watch parties” or “movie nights” for curated Jack Dharma Talks, Wise Conversations, and Guided Meditations, so length may vary, but should also clock in around an hour

• The weekly chapter (varying between Dharma Talks, Guided Meditations, Journal Reflections, etc) will be available for replay throughout the year as course modules on your JackKornfield.com dashboard, as well as after the year is over
• The recordings of the live sessions will be added as program modules, so they can be replayed afterwards from the course dashboard
• Written Resources like syllabus, key notes/quotes, transcripts, and journal prompts will be available in a downloadable and printable PDF format

• During the live Q&A’s, Jack will connect with live participants first, chat questions second, and email questions third. (Generally, there is not enough time for chat/email questions)
• If you have a question you are uncomfortable asking during the Q&A, feel free to email us here, share that you are in the Year of Awakening Journey, and the course facilitator should be able to help via email, within reason.
• There is also the wisdom of community in the Course Discussion Forums, where you can share your questions and reflections with the wise community taking the Year of Awakening journey along with you

Each month’s core teachings and resources are released at the start of that month. You’ll receive access to talks, guided meditations, and reading recommendations aligned with the monthly theme.

You’ll have eight live Q&A sessions with Jack spread throughout the year. These sessions occur roughly every few months (dates are provided in advance) at a set time (12:00 PST, Wednesdays). If you cannot attend live, recordings will be made available afterward. 

Dates:

• January 15th
• February 17th,
• March 12
• May 14
• August 20
• September 29
• November 19
• December 16

In addition to Jack’s Q&A sessions, there are four facilitator-led Q&As scheduled throughout the year. These sessions are hosted by experienced facilitators who will guide discussions, answer questions, and help you deepen your understanding of the teachings

Aside from the scheduled live sessions, you can explore the monthly teachings, guided practices, and recommended readings at your own pace. The materials remain accessible once released, so you can revisit them whenever it suits your schedule.

You can join at any point. If you begin mid-year, you’ll still have access to all previously released monthly teachings and can catch up or move forward according to your preferences.

Each month you’ll receive:

•A recorded talk/s or teaching video from Jack introducing that month’s theme

•Guided meditation practices selected by Jack

•Recommended readings, reflections, and exercises to help deepen your understanding
