Decolonizing Mindfulness: Teachings for Emotional Trauma for People of Color

March 5, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

with Vimalasara (Valerie) Mason-John and Shahara Godfrey

This daylong retreat will take the participants on an exploration of negative mental states and how we can begin to transform them. The day will unfold with meditations to help soothe our internalized trauma due to the racism and other suffering that we experience. There will also be interactive meditation and reflective exercises held in a realm of Metta (loving-kindness).
