Awareness In Action: Poly-Crisis with Jon Kabat-Zinn (Part 2 – January)

In this profound dharma talk from the Awareness in Action series, meditation teacher and scientist Jon Kabat-Zinn explores how mindfulness practice can help us navigate our current global poly-crisis. Through guided meditation and dialogue with Roshi Joan Halifax, he examines how we can meet this moment of unprecedented planetary challenges—from climate change to democratic instability—with clarity and courage. Drawing on Buddhist wisdom and contemporary insights, Kabat-Zinn emphasizes that meditation is not just a cushion practice but a radical act of sanity that can help us respond to our world’s pressing needs with wisdom and compassionate action.
