After George Floyd’s murder by a Minneapolis Police officer on May 25, 2020, our mindfulness community came together as a commitment to being a positive force for racial justice.

We began a recent discussion by tuning in to our bodies/minds/hearts as we listened to this poem: 
 
Breathe (Lynn Ungar)

when the air is full of the smoke
of burning tires, burning lives?

Just breathe, the wind insisted. (entire poem here)
