Often hailed as “the most diverse meditation center in the country”, East Bay Meditation Center (EBMC) is a shining star in the constellation of Bay Area mindfulness and meditation communities. Centering social justice practices, EBMC is an urban refuge for meditation, charging no set fees for any classes, workshops or meditation groups and instead creating a more equitable and accessible alternative to racial capitalism. The organization recently began our 12th year and have offered donation based programming since our inception.

“The Power of Compassion” welcomes acclaimed Buddhist Meditation Teacher, Author and Psychologist Tara Brach, moderated by Konda Mason on Monday, April 22nd at San Francisco’s Herbst Theater. The evening benefits the East Bay Meditation Center.

She is founder and senior teacher of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC, offers a popular weekly podcast and teaches meditation workshops and retreats in the United States and Europe. Tara and her colleague Jack Kornfield have created a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Certification Program that is currently serving participants from 49 countries.
