Open to self identified people of color

with Arisika Razak

If we cannot be happy in spite of our difficulties, what good is our spiritual practice?
-Maha Ghosananda

Memory is the selection of images; some elusive, others printed indelibly on the brain. . . . But truth changes color depending on the light. And tomorrow can be clearer than today.
-Kasi Lemon, from the film Eve’s Bayou

Our experiences of grief and trauma may be invitations to deepen our self-awareness, healing, compassion and transformation. Using Buddhist teachings, guided meditation, movement, writing, embodied exercises and trauma studies, we will explore the gifts and challenges found in these difficult and provocative experiences.
