Wisdom and Practices for Surviving and Thriving

With Mushim Ikeda & Melvin Escobar

People of color and people of mixed heritage are subjected to potentially traumatic situations on a regular basis. In this daylong, we will explore different aspects of posttraumatic growth (PTG) and learn practical embodiment and mindfulness-based skills within a supportive and compassionate learning community and healing space. Using a social justice-based approach, we will affirm that our communities have the capacity to thrive and grow into healing, well-being, and joy. Our day will include talks, meditation, facilitated discussion, relaxation techniques and gentle movement.
