How do we as spiritual practitioners respond to racial injustice? How do we stand with and support all those working for deep and lasting change without losing our peace and being drawn into endless cycles of anger, hatred and violence?

This event is for you if:

  • You want to use your voice, your heart, and your yoga practice to make a difference but don’t know how to get started and how to be effective.
  • You feel confused or defensive when you hear terms like white fragility, white privilege, and white supremacy, but don’t want to ask questions for fear of “sounding racist.”
  • You struggle reconciling the belief you have that “we are one” with your understanding that racism exists and must be addressed.

Please join us for this free event!

Integral Yoga Minister Kamala Itzel Hayward will speak on the essential role that acknowledging racism and other forms of oppression plays in the spiritual journey. Mazin Jamal Mahgoub will follow with a talk on effective activism grounded in spiritual principles.

This event will be followed by a more detailed 1-hour session with Mazin in July. Sign-up for our newsletter to receive future announcements.
