Your Heart Was Made For This: Contemplative Practices for a World in Crisis

  • Sacramento Dharma Center 3111 Wissemann Drive Sacramento, CA, 95826 United States (map)

How can contemplative practice be a vehicle not just for personal healing but for collective liberation? How can we reclaim our attention, use our energy more wisely, and contribute meaningfully to the call of our times? Join author and Dharma teacher Oren Jay Sofer for this special, hybrid daylong session with the Sacramento Buddhist Group, where Oren will offer teachings and practices from his new book, Your Heart Was Made For This: Contemplative Practices to Meet a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love.

This is a hybrid event; you may join online or attend in person. The session will explore a range of potent qualities essential to the spiritual path and social transformation: wise attention, energy, patience and more. The day will include time for silent practice and reflection, discussion, questions, and will be followed by a book-signing with the author.

All are welcome, no prior experience needed. This hybrid event will be offered on a sliding scale, with scholarships available. No one turned away for lack of funds.

This event will be recorded and made available for those who register.
