On Zoom
Five Saturdays: October 12 – November 9, 2024
9:00 AM – 10:30 AM Pacific Time
This five-session series provides a safe and supportive space for Black practitioners to begin, refresh and strengthen their meditation and daily mindfulness practice. The sessions focus on the intersection of mindfulness and Black collective wisdom in the context of our unique experiences and expressions. In this series, we will explore the qualities needed to be resilient in order to face social and racial injustices while on this spiritual path. The group’s time together will include guided meditation, a talk, and opportunities to share and connect with each other.
