"I am racist." You recognize that statement, as a White person in this culture, as dharma practice -- speaking truth. You've read White Fragility, and My Grandmother's Hands, or related books/trainings, and understand that you are conditioned by, and benefit from, White privilege.
Join this class to explore meditation-world tips for what to do about it, and with it, in your mind, and in the world. We will weave together wisdom traditions ranging from ancient Buddhism to modern Systems Theory (with detours into Winnie the Pooh and my 6-year-old son's music playlists), exploring the full range from anti-racism to beloved community.
