I mitigated with JKZ for 11 weeks. The gift of a life time . His words come from his heart. Touched mine and thousands of others❤️🙅🙏

[@alicia3520]

Yes, I participated in the "Pamdemic Retreat w/ JKZ, Soren and hundreds of others, although it felt very personal. It was a wonderful experience in a very difficult time. The daily meditations after the "talk" was sublime! Soren and JKZ you have my deepest love and gratitude.

[@susanpenn4015]

The mitigation retreat was a gift to me, and the world. This time we are in has deepened my mindfulness practice, while keeping me engaged in healthy ways. What is most important to me in the next few months leading up to the election, is staying in touch with goodness, in myself and the world. Thank you Soren and JKZ for supporting that. Sending love.

Jon Kabat Zinn is a legened! I really enjoyed this. Videos like this are what keeps us smaller channels forward leaning. Thank you! 🌿 I implement minimalist and mindfulness principles into my everyday life. I explained how on my channel a couple days ago. Have an awesome day everyone!

[@joanwaters3120]

A wonderful interview: a meeting of two infinitely spacious minds. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Soren, for organizing this summit and the mitigation retreat, which was a truly lifechanging event.

Karen May, I suspect, spent a lot of time preparing for this interview and all the work shines throughout the entire hour and thirty five minutes.....which to me felt much shorter. What a gift, interviewer and interviewee perfectly aligned. Thank you both very, very much

[@j.menzlihenshaw1119]

Thank you so much Soren for these beautiful videos you have made available to us. Most grateful. God bless you. Thank you Jon Kabat Zinn... what a gorgeous grandchild! Profound thanks to you all.

[@JFernandesSC]

thank you Jon. You help us much more than priests, shepherds, yogis, wathever; without dogmas or strict rules

[@joannhaun6599]

Always grateful to listen to and be with JKZ. Many many thanks for those who produce the videos and lessons.

[@denisepresnell2800]

I mitigated via KZbin for all 13 weeks. I miss you JKZ!

[@istoppain62]

There is so much love and compassion from both. You can feel it with Karen May too. JKZ has so much wisdom and it can be felt by our awareness

[@cicicollins3801]

A wonderful interview, inspiring and enlightening on so many levels.

[@jaimecarlo-casellas3262]

Thanks so much, Jon, my first meditation teacher, who changed my life forever.

[@rocioalvarez4025]

I would like to know if it will be another retreat with Jon kabat zinn in the fall or winter. I'd love to be added in the list to participate. Hi Soren

[@lizcoaches]

I'm trying to practice being in wise relationship with what it. This is a beautiful video. I'm thinking about the concept of residing in the moment and it nourishes me. Thank you JKZ!

[@ourvoices2012]

I just finished experiencing love of life without fear of mind . Just This❤️🙅🙏

[@alicia3520]

...and this.

[@roscramer3247]

I've been reading your books and practicing your teachings, and watching your videos for 20 years now.

[@roscramer3247]

This is still me! I'm still learning and I am forever grateful for your generosity with your time and the knowledge and wisdom that you share with so many people. You're a wonderful human being. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

[@joedesouza9134]

So sincere; so illuminating!

[@garycleave9565]

Who is the I in me The watcher within The one aware when My mind wonders Here, there and everywhere Who with gentle breath and tender touch Stills my mind and guides me back to now Call the I what you will The East's suffering self Or the West's sentient soul Either way Does being mindful really have the power As some say To make us whole If we learn to pay attention And intentionally inhabit each moment of the day Instead of letting our minds stray And wander away

[@maryrubin9297]

That was amazing

[@fergusbarrett3904]

Thank you, really enjoyed that.

[@McLKeith]

Thoreau wrote in Walden "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Because we can't experience what is going on inside the minds of others, we tend to think it is just myself that is getting anxious. But no, it is the human condition when our minds are asleep.

[@maj.a5544]

Thank you very much

[@hollyhall8314]

I was so grateful to be part of Jon's 13 weeks of Mindfulness Meditation and discussion via KZbin. I felt equally present and involved as those on ZOOM. Focus on Jon's words have been invaluable to me in this changing world. I will continue to re listen to 13 weeks of KZbin recordings and Wisdom 2.0 Summit. I have gained a valuable focus in this trying time. Thank you Jon and Soren. Holly Hall

Absolutely terrific

When people act out on line or 6 inches from one's face, that is an opportunity to practice one's humanity; to see where one stands in their own progress of the spirit and consciousness. If 1/1,000 people can distract and derail an intention or goal, likely the 999 have lost sight of why they are practicing; what they are creating. The chaos, however it comes, is a sacred part of the whole. Seeing it can keep one humble, if allowed. It also shines a light on where more work needs to be done. God or Ultimate Consciousness is acting in every role.

A completely separate set of ethics is required of government and what it does with our tax dollars than is required from the individual and what he or she wants to do with their own income. The government should spend tax dollars in a wise and thrifty manner, not just squander it on boondoggles (California high speed rail, Solyndra, bank bail outs etc)

If we wish to help others see more or do different; to acquire a shift in consciousness; we'll have to meet them where they are, with fewer and more relatable words. As much as I enjoy these talks, it gets to be too much, and not enough space to relate to the suggestions. It is similar to having bite too many of a very good but rich cake. The depth gets lost in the stimulation.
