In this talk, Francesca will share about how mindfulness and embodiment can help support us in the work of becoming an embodied antiracist practitioner. Why is it not enough to be non-racist? What about people who “don’t see color?” And what about those who feel many groups have experienced trauma, and therefore racism is no different than sexism or ableism? We’ll look at the history of anti-Black racism in this country, explore how current events and narratives interplay with our own personal and social/collective conditioning and programming, and how we can use mindfulness to cultivate a courageous heart and move towards compassionate, wise action.
