A Moment of Heartfulness with Professor Murphy-Shigematsu

Co-sponsored by The Haas Center for Public Service, Stanford University, and Thrive Alliance

Join us for "A Moment of Heartfulness,” an opportunity to take a break from the daily grind in order to rest and renew the mind, body, and spirit. We will engage in a moment of respite and revival in heartful community, experiencing the beauty and wonder of coming together in vulnerability, authenticity, and presence. Bring a beginner’s mind, a sense of ichi-go, ichi-e (once-in-a-lifetime opportunity), and a spirit of witnessing that proclaims, "Here I am!" This is a chance to experience the kind of innovative classes offered at Stanford to foster compassion and responsibility.

His work in crossing borders through community building and mindful citizenship by connecting diverse people and transforming self and society.
