“Racism is a heart disease, and it’s curable.” – Ruth King

We are in the midst of a transformative time and the a great opportunity to better understand and shift systematic racism and our own unconscious participation in racial bias.  

For this study group, we will gather as a community and use Ruth King’s wonderful book, Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism from the Inside Out as our guide.  We will take our time with the text, giving space for discussion, contemplation and meditations.   In her book, Ms. King creates a structure to help understand racism from systemic level, and then dives into the core of her work: addressing racism and discrimination as a heart problem that each of us has the opportunity to heal.   After each discussion there will be a meditation practice to help us deepen our own inquiry.    

Reggie Hubbard is a thought leader, activist and social justice champion.  He is also a yoga and mindfulness teacher in the DC area.   Reggie will be joining our discussion the first and third weeks (and hopefully more) and will lend his guidance and perspectives to our group.  https://activepeaceyoga.com/

Ruth King is an international leader and teacher of mindfulness, diversity awareness and transformative leadership.  She is the Founder of Mindful of Race Institute, LLC, and is a celebrated author, educator, and meditation teacher.   Michael has had the pleasure of being on retreat with Ms. King, and she is truly an elder and a treasure.

I am excited to be a learner with you on the journey.
