Mindful Movements
A series of workshops, classes, and exercises to introduce social changemakers to mindfulness, and a Community of Practice to integrate these practices into our work
While mainstream society often commodifies mindfulness, portraying it as a means to navigate stress within existing systems, this narrative neglects its potential as a transformative agent. Mindful Movements bridges the gap between individual mindfulness practices and a collective, socially conscious approach ensuring that mindfulness serves the collective beyond individual gains.

The Unbiased Mind
