This is not your generic mindfulness class! Learn (or relearn) core mindfulness practices from a decolonizing perspective that offers mindfulness as a path to reclamation and liberation. Particular attention is given to oppression-related stress and trauma, as well as the relevance of mindfulness for BIPOC wellness and mental health. The teachings are informed by the Vipassana insight meditation tradition, with an emphasis on soulful experiencing, and infused with cultural expressions from the African diaspora and diverse cultural contexts. All are welcome!
