In support of Black Lives Matter and in the interest of furthering the work of anti-racism, Mind-Body Los Angeles will be highlighting meditation, yoga, Tai Chi and Qigong classes offered by Black teachers; as well as pointing to resources White People may avail ourselves of to further the dismantling of white-centrism.
On Sunday, JoAnna Hardy and Sydney Reece will facilitate the People of Color and Allies Sitting and Discussion Group, a once-monthly event (every first Sunday) that she began in January, 2016. It is a conjoint gathering of the weekly (on Sundays) People of Color Sangha and White Allies for Social Justice Group, which are both affiliated with Meditation Coalition, a mutually-supportive assembly of teachers, facilitators, and students who "are aligned with the common cause of liberation from suffering for all beings. JoAnna co-founded Meditation Coalition in 2018 with Mary Stancavage.
