**Join us for a weekly gathering to practice mindfulness meditation and compassion to awaken heart and mind to savor life and serve the world.**

In these very difficult times, these profound and practical teachings offer an ever-available refuge and powerful medicine to help us live with greater freedom, peace, and joy while responding to suffering and injustice with compassionate, courageous love. They are secular-friendly and appropriate for people of any faith or no faith.

Come see for yourself how they may help you and empower you to help our world.

Meetings include a \~40 minute sitting meditation with guidance and either or both a wisdom talk or facilitated sharing on how we are bringing the teachings into our lives. Please do your best to join on time so that we can begin with everyone present without delay. There are couches and chairs to sit in and you are most welcome to bring a cushion, bench, or other chair to sit on if you prefer. All are welcome and our meetings are suitable for people with no experience as well as long-time practitioners. Feel free to invite anyone you think might be interested or would benefit.

**Meetings are held at a private residence in Tempe near McClintock and Broadway. Register at kainewkirk.org/mindfulness to receive the address.**

My aspiration is to help build a community or sangha that gives people access to these powerful teachings, helps us to live with freedom, balance, and courageous love, and empowers us to serve our world skillfully in this difficult time.
