Hawn's Philanthropy 

Hawn became involved in Buddhism in the early 1970s. She was raised Jewish but is now a practicing Buddhist and has raised her children in both Buddhist and Jewish traditions. Hawn has also stated, in several interviews, that her Jewish religion and heritage comes before Buddhism. Hawn travels to India annually, and has visited Israel, stating that she felt a strong identification with its people.

Goldie founded and funds the Goldie Hawn Institute, formerly called the Bright Lights Foundation which teaches the Buddhist meditation technique of mindfulness training to fourth through seventh graders. They are instructed in mindful awareness techniques and positive thinking skills, then tested for changes in behavior, social and emotional competence, and moral development. One school official reports that in one classroom, the children went from having the most behavioral problems, to having zero behavioral problems.

Hawn realizes that many parents oppose bringing Buddhist methods into public schools, and recently stated in Greater Good magazine, published by Greater Good Science Center: "There will always be people who see this as scary, or as some kind of Eastern philosophy that they don't want for their kids." Hawn adds, "Mindfulness gives kids a tool for understanding how their brain works, for having more self-control". (source Wikipedia)

Goldie: A Lotus Grows in the Mud - book by Goldie Hawn 


I loved this autobiography.
In this inspiring and unconventional memoir, Goldie Hawn invites readers to join her in a look back at the people, places, and events that have touched her. It is a spiritual journey of a heart in search of enlightenment.

Goldie is a practicing Buddhist, and I have seen her at some of the Dalai Lama's teachings.

The Lotus Symbol 

Goldie chose the lotus because for Buddhists the lotus flower grows up out of the mud and is beautiful!
