About the workshop

In the era of #MeToo, The Resistance, Environmental ruin, and #BlackLivesMatter, one has to ask: How do we meditate and calm our minds in the midst of chaos? What does mindfulness have to offer those who encounter injustice daily? How do we actually create a better world for ourselves and the future generations?

Together, we will explore these questions, merging science, mindfulness, movement, music, and art, and begin to chart a new path forward towards beloved community and the embodiment of peace.
