Description

Join teacher, author, nonprofit founder, and speaker Caverly Morgan for an engaging book talk from her latest body of work, The Heart of Who We Are: Realizing Freedom Together, published through Sounds True.

When Caverly reentered society after eight years as a Zen monk, she was confronted with a question many of us are asking these days: When faced with the enormity of the collective problems before us, how can one individual’s spiritual practice make a tangible difference in our world?

In The Heart of Who We Are, Caverly explores how meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative technologies designed for the realization of personal freedom can—and must be—applied collectively. She inspires us to put our values into action through connecting with the deepest truth of who we are—then using that understanding to transform our own lives and the world we share.

Join us for a guided meditation and talk with Caverly that will be followed by an engaging discussion that will nourish your practice. She will also share some information about the latest development with Peace in Schools—the nonprofit she founded, which created the nation’s first semester-long, credited mindfulness course within high schools. The program is aiming to expand into Seattle!

About Caverly

Caverly Morgan is a meditation teacher, non-profit founder, speaker, and author. She is the founder of Peace in Schools, a nonprofit that created the nation’s first for-credit mindfulness class in public high schools. Caverly is also the founder of Presence Collective, a community of cross-cultural contemplatives committed to personal and collective transformation. She is the author of A Kids Book About Mindfulness as well as The Heart of Who We Are: Realizing Freedom Together.

Caverly blends the original spirit of Zen with a modern nondual approach. Her practice began in 1995 and has included eight years of training in a silent Zen monastery. She has been teaching contemplative practice since 2001.

Caverly speaks publicly at conferences on topics including contemplative practice, personal and collective transformation, social entrepreneurship, authentic leadership, and mindfulness education, and has been featured in publications such as Mindful magazine (as a cover subject) and The New York Times.
