Spirit Rock Meditation Center

Spirit Rock Meditation Center is intended to be a place that always looks in two directions: inward and outward. Inwardly, as human beings we need settings where we can renew our connection to ourselves, to nature, and to life itself through silence and mindful attention. Outwardly, the modern world is in crisis on many fronts: environmental, economic, political and psychological. Today, as always, the world needs more voices of understanding, more acts of generosity, and more of the spirit of peace. Co-founded by Jack Kornfield and others in 1987, the purpose of Spirit Rock is to help each individual find within himself or herself peace, compassion and wisdom through the practices of mindfulness and Insight Meditation (Vipassana), and to support the individual in taking those qualities into the world.

One World Children's Fund

One World Children’s Fund was founded in 2000 by Shanti Cliff, Patricia 'Savitri' Burbank and Michael Kilgroe, who, while traveling in India, were moved by the extreme poverty they witnessed. Knowing that effective change is possible when dedicated people work to transform their own communities, they visited several successful grassroots organizations working in villages to educate children and young mothers and to eradicate the underlying conditions of poverty.

When they returned home, they founded One World (which is a San Francisco-based 501(c)3 organization) and the Champion Program as a means to support the work they witnessed from these grassroots organizations.They were determined to assist other people in the US to support and develop ongoing partnerships with projects serving children and their caregivers.

One World Children’s Fund (One World) is a community of people committed to supporting children around the world who lack the most basic necessities. They do this by empowering people who live in the US to champion grassroots organizations, here and abroad, that are building sustainable solutions to the problems affecting the local children and their caregivers.
