Community Grounding & Observance: Contemplating 400 Years of Inequality

23rd July 2020 | 6pm-7:30pm EST

Join us to find support and process some of the grief and racial battle fatigue that come with navigating the recent wave of structural violence. Drawing on the Contemplating 400 Years of Inequality Experience, this community gathering will draw on research and practices at the intersection of mindfulness, intergenerational trauma and healing. We will briefly look at the 400 Years of Inequality timeline as a contemplative tool for deepening conversations about structural inequality, historical literacy, community resiliency and social justice. Using break out rooms and collective dialogue, we will support each other during this difficult time in our history.

This space is for everyone interested in building community and connecting across differences.
