January 15, 2024
Mindful Living Revolution has announced a $9,000 gift from The Frederick P. Lenz Foundation for American Buddhism toward its innovative Heart of Listening program. The grant will advance Mindful Living Revolution’s ability to make the Heart of Listening program accessible to more leaders, practitioners, and organizations.
Scheduled to run for the 11th year in the spring of 2024, Mindful Living Revolution’s Heart of Listening program guides practitioners and leaders in a six-month training based on the nine principles of relational mindfulness and on evidence-based engaged mindfulness practice. The program offers a curriculum for embodying presence, relational intelligence, deep listening, and regenerative leadership on behalf of collective transformation.
This $9,000 gift from the Lenz Foundation will be used to upgrade professional audio and video recordings for the Heart of Listening program. This grant will also support further development of the curriculum, and the creation of a book from the curriculum on dharma-based relational leadership. This grant also provides scholarships for female leaders from the Buddhist and BIPOC community. Because of this grant, the program’s teachings will be able to reach a wider community and make a broader impact.
The Heart of Listening program is an online training attended by participants from all over the world, including marriage and family counselors, activists, Buddhist teachers, and community organizers. Attendees have also included leaders from social justice and environmental justice fields, the Environmental Protection Agency, indigenous leaders, mindfulness teachers, psychotherapists, and concerned citizens.
“This training is unique and innovative in its support of interpersonal, intrapersonal, transpersonal, ecological, and societal impacts of relational mindfulness,” said Mindful Living Revolution founder and director Deborah Eden Tull. “We are very grateful for Lenz Foundation’s support and dedication to helping Mindful Living Revolution achieve its bold goal to bring healing to all of our relationships – with self, with one another, and with our planet.”
Mindful Living Revolution teaches the practice and embodiment of conscious compassionate awareness and sacred activism within the context of global uncertainty. They are dedicated to bridging personal and collective awakening with relational intelligence.
