SUMMARY:Wednesday Weekly Meditation and Talk with Kristine Claghorn
DESCRIPTION:Much research has shown that meditation is one of the very best ways to cultivate the brain states of self-awareness\, calm and inner peace\, lovingkindness\, mindfulness\, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and nurture other health benefits. \nJoin guest teacher Kristine Claghorn for a live-streamed weekly meditation\, talk\, and discussion. Kristine Claghorn is a certified compassion educator through Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism\, Research\, and Education (CCARE). A self-worth coach and creative professional\, she helps individuals overcome burnout and imposter syndrome. Previously the Head of Creative Partnerships at the Global Compassion Coalition\, she now focuses on creating accessible content about compassion\, mindfulness\, and personal resilience. Her work includes developing guides on compassionate action and coaching individuals to break cycles of stress and self-criticism. \nThese teachings are offered freely\, at no charge. And if you like\, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Kristine and Rick’s Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart\, relaxes the contraction of “self\,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps\, eventually\, even oneself.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Weekly Meditation and Talk with Mandar Apte
DESCRIPTION:Much research has shown that meditation is one of the very best ways to cultivate the brain states of self-awareness\, calm and inner peace\, lovingkindness\, mindfulness\, and happiness – as well as strengthen the immune system and nurture other health benefits. \nJoin Mandar Apte for a live-streamed weekly meditation\, talk\, and discussion. Mandar is the Founder and Executive director of Cities4Peace\, a strategic peacebuilding consultancy of the Art of Living Foundation and the International Association for Human Values. Prior to this\, Mandar worked at Shell for nearly two decades and managed Shell’s GameChanger social innovation and impact investment program. Mandar is also the Producer/Director of From India With Love documentary film that promotes India’s ancient message of nonviolence. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA)\, Mandar has studied\, practiced and taught meditation practices for the past two decades. \nThese teachings are offered freely\, at no charge. And if you like\, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Mandar and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart\, relaxes the contraction of “self\,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps\, eventually\, even oneself.
