Many of us experience a strong pull to take action and be of service in our communities, especially in times of heightened trauma and injustice. This critical activist and service-oriented role is an unsustainable one if we don’t also nurture the part of ourselves that needs care and healing. In fact, as we show up to justice-centered work without tending to our own internal needs and wounds, we may find that we perpetuate the very harm and challenge that we seek to eradicate. Join this mindfulness and movement-based training to:
  1. Understand how patterns of harm and healing can be mirrored and replicated at individual, interpersonal, and community levels
  2. Practice intentional cultivation of healing space for oneself through yoga
  3. Identify practices and supports to translate the intention for self care into accountability for individual healing
