This workshop builds off of Dr. Angel Acosta’s 400 Years Project, which centers contemplative practice around the history of inequality in the US. The goal of this workshop is to engage with, acknowledge, and awaken ourselves to the dynamics of racism and oppression at all levels. We will learn how to apply mindfulness skills to increase our capacity to connect with our intergenerational resilience as well as relate in more sustainable ways to the ongoing issues of social injustice. In this session, you will have the opportunity to​​:

​

• Engage with mindfulness practice 

• Walk through the 400 Years Timeline

• Connect with other participants through conversation and reflection

• Learn about resources to continue the work beyond the session

 

By understanding how history lives in each of us and the systems which surround us, we can begin to heal the wounds of historical trauma, both individually and collectively.

In this day and age, community and connection are crucial for our wellbeing and endurance. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased our sense of social isolation and made the disparities affecting underserved groups clearer than ever. This information session, offered jointly with the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion (CMC), is designed to provide an overview of mindfulness skills and resources for wellness and community building during this time. In this session, you will have the opportunity to:

 

• Engage with mindfulness practices to apply in daily life 

• Connect with other participants through conversation and reflection

• Learn about CMC's many offerings and resources that may be beneficial for you and/or the communities you serve 

​

The session is open to all individuals interested, and no prior mindfulness experience is necessary.
