Black Women's Health and Wellness: Mindfulness
(1/10/24 & 1/17/24) We will gather twice virtually via Zoom to discuss the practice of mindfulness meditation & mindfulness in everyday life. Mindfulness is the awareness of the present moment, moment to moment, without judgement. Mindfulness allows us to show up in our lives more fully and wisely. Over the course of the two weeks I'll highlight how mindfulness can support self-awareness & Black women's resilience by informing self-care. I work from the view of resilience as the ability to repeatedly find your way back to love, joy, inner peace, hope, and connection.
