Harnessing the Full Power of the Present: How the path of mindfulness benefits our lives and the world

In live conversation with Lion’s Roar editor-in-chief Melvin McLeod, renowned mindfulness teachers Jack Kornfield and Trudy Goodman discuss:

• The power of the present moment to transform our lives
• How the insight we develop through mindfulness is the key to the path
• Why mindfulness is actually loving awareness or "heartfulness"
• How mindfulness is a gateway into our heartfelt intelligence and deeper wisdom
• How mindfulness invites us to trust ourselves, to befriend uncertainty, and to be present for others with a wise and open heart.

Trudy also leads a powerful and heartfelt guided meditation.
