This February, we’re opening access to our teacher-in-residence series — one part of the Lion’s Roar membership experience. As a member, this is just one of the ways to engage with in-depth teachings, practices, and a broader community committed to living with more clarity and compassion.

Becoming a member gives you countless resources to support your heart and mind — a place to learn, practice, and reconnect with what matters most. And you’ll be part of something bigger: helping sustain Lion’s Roar’s mission to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and joy in a world that needs it.

February with Jon Kabat-Zinn

This February, discover embodied wakefulness / awareness as an effective antidote to the stress, anxiety, and mental narratives that make life feel unmanageable and sometimes overwhelming.

Founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Jon Kabat-Zinn is the trailblazer behind the American mindfulness movement. Jon, author of Full Catastrophe Living, Wherever You Go, There You Are, Coming to Our Senses, and Mindfulness for Pain Relief, among other books, brings six decades of experience practicing and teaching mindfulness to these sessions, an intrinsically liberative practice that can free us from the prisons of our own mental creations.
