2022 Spring Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program
White Awareness: Relational Mindfulness and Race Equity
Anti-Racism Education in an Online Mindful Learning Community
“White Awareness: Relational Mindfulness and Race Equity” program integrates the spiritual practice of mindfulness and anti-racism education. Within a dedicated community, we explore what it is to be white, while learning to pay attention in the present without judgment. Through present moment awareness we may better understand the impact of racism and cultural conditioning. We cultivate respect and kindness towards all beings in order to live connected, compassionate, and wakeful lives.
