Our 6-session flagship mindfulness class. All sessions will be hosted live on Zoom and facilitated by Dr. Shelly Harrell.
​
This is not your generic mindfulness class! Learn (or relearn) core mindfulness practices from a decolonizing perspective that offers mindfulness as a path to mental and emotional liberation, as well as a foundation for collective liberation from oppression-related stress and trauma. Particular attention is given to the relevance of mindfulness for BIPOC wellness and mental health. The teachings are informed by the Vipassana insight meditation tradition, with an emphasis on soulful experiencing, and infused with cultural expressions from the African diaspora and diverse cultural contexts.
Dr. Shelly Harrell created this unique course in 2020 to provide a resource for healing and connection within the context of the profound loss and change brought on by the COVID-19 and ongoing racism pandemics. In 2023, we’re continuing to grieve, heal, and free ourselves from the grasp of these pandemics and the many ways that stress hijacks our bodies, minds, hearts, and souls.
Practicing mindfulness regularly can help us be more present in our lives-- more present in our bodies, more present relationally and spiritually. Mindfulness-based practices give us strategies for experiencing more inner peace and balance, allowing us to hear the voice of our inner wisdom and contact the truth of our interconnectedness. It is a powerful ground to support the expression of our highest selves, align with our deepest values, and manifest our highest aspirations and purpose, both personally and collectively. Bottom line is that mindfulness can help us GET FREE!
