Suggested Content for Discussion
  • We’re taking turns sharing personal experiences with race and class in our upbringing and throughout our lives. (Paul will be sharing in October. Any takers for September?) Consider:
    • When was the first time you became aware of, resisted, questioned, or were confused by race or racism? By class or classism?

Watch/listen to recent suggestions:

  • Practice Staci Haines’ 5-min Somatic Centering to respond when triggered, embody our commitments, and take action fromwhat we care about most. (Or 7-min practice has more explanation.)

 

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 continue to evolve these monthly open meetings to affect real and lasting change in the fabric of the United States and the world.

Each session is inspiring as we listen, learn, share and stir up ideas and actions, supporting each other in a safe space.
