"The tools PiTA 5 gave me as an Oakland paramedic "The tools PiTA 5 gave me as an Oakland paramedic have proven invaluable. The simple act of breathing is the most important thing we could do to help regulate an activated nervous system in a changing world. This exploratory practice has helped me become the best version of myself in service to others."

“I love PiTA because I strengthened my mindfulne “I love PiTA because I strengthened my mindfulness practice through collective learning in community. I met amazing friends who, to this day, inspire me with their commitment to the inner work of justice and liberation. So much of activism is external facing and reactionary. My participation in PiTA helped me to understand how to take care of myself and others without burning out.”
