Blending Zen practice, Western psychology, and a focus on direct experience, the founder of Presence Collective and Peace in Schools presents a nondual approach to systemic change, offering us a wealth of contemplative teachings and reflections, solo and group exercises, and personal stories that help us put our deeply held values into action.
Full Description

Awareness practices and contemplative technologies that transform our understanding of ourselves and the world—profoundly impacting how we live

When Caverly Morgan 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, Morgan explores how meditation, mindfulness, and contemplative technologies designed for the realization of personal freedom can—and must be—applied collectively. Offering a wealth of teachings and reflections, solo and group exercises, and personal stories that inspire us to put our values into action, this timely guide invites us to connect with the deepest truth of who we are, and then use that understanding to transform our own lives and the world we share.

At the core of this book is the call to liberation, to find freedom that is within and without, both personally and collectively. “The longer we cling to the notion that there’s a separate self who awakens, the more arduous our path will be,” Morgan writes. “We realize freedom together.”
