On Being Wisdom

About On Being Wisdom

This is a home for becoming more fluent in our humanity, inside ourselves and in practice in the world, in the company of spiritual teachers, scientists, poets, social changemakers, and others who have been part of On Being across the last two decades. Krista Tippett guides a course experience that combines reflective teaching with an invitation and tools to integrate what is learned into the granular experiences of your days and the sweep of your life.

The Wisdom app is also being designed as a community of accompaniment, and an offering towards the generative possibilities of this moment in the life of the world. “Across all of our differences and divides,” Krista says, “enough of us see that we have a world to remake. We want to meet what is hard and hurting, and rise to what is beautiful and life-giving. We want to do that where we live, and we want to do it walking alongside others. We’re asking, where to begin?” The foundational course, "Hope Is a Muscle," is designed to explore and reflect that and progressively deepen our presence to ourselves and each other and the world, from the inside out and back again.

This is an adventure of The On Being Project, a media and social healing organization. We make a public radio show, podcasts, and tools for the art of living. We pursue deep thinking, moral imagination, social courage and joy, towards the renewal of inner life, outer life, and life together.

Krista Tippett is our founder and host and a Peabody and Webby award winning broadcaster, New York Times bestselling author, and National Humanities Medalist. Her book Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living, is another way inside the life, mind, and world behind On Being – and the conviction that hope is a muscle.
