Welcome to our series on mindfulness for racial healing by educator, leader, and one of the 2021 Powerful Women of the Mindfulness Movement, Tovi Scruggs-Hussein.
As the mindfulness community stands at the forefront of helping people everywhere to develop emotional intelligence, compassion, and awareness of both self and others, we hope this series will result in opportunities for reflection, unlearning, and vulnerability to nurture cultural humility and heal.
We are all affected by the divisiveness that currently defines our socio-political environment. This series is an invitation to explore difficult topics with the love and compassion needed for deep, systemic change.
Each article includes:
- Mindfulness-based tools for exploring the topics of race and racism.
- Guided meditations to help you bring insights into practice and then out into the world.
- Reflection prompts that accompany each article so you can integrate the work.
- Q&A opportunities. Simply send your questions to yourwords@mindful.org and we may include them in a future Q&A article with Tovi’s response.
