Weekend Warrior Training I for BIPOC

  • Shambhala Meditation Center of Seattle (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Dr. Claudelle Glasgow for a weekend meditation retreat for BIPOC.   As Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, our fundamental ground of innate goodness is challenged on a daily basis in several spheres of our existence.  This can bring a seemingly fundamental ground of stress and negativity into our lives. This practice will offer opportunities through combining meditation and the arts to continually access that goodness in the face of racial oppressions with gentleness and appreciation.

This program introduces the practice of meditation and the basic principles of the Shambhala teachings.  Through the practice of meditation, we begin to glimpse that innate goodness, rather than confusion, labels, and conditioning, as the unconditional ground of our existence.

This program is open to those who identify as people of color. No previous experience with meditation is necessary.

Prerequisites: This program is open to those who identify as black, indigenous, and people of color. No previous experience with meditation is necessary.

Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies: Mental Health is Not Just for White People

Panel description: What does mental health look like for people of color? In what ways have mental health care systems focused on white people, and what have been the consequences? This panel will raise questions about the cultural exclusivity of “mental health,” asking who has access to a doctor’s diagnosis or to an education about mental illness. We will also examine how racism affects mental health treatment and produces higher rates of medical conditions that generate significant psychological challenges. Additionally, this panel will explore responses within communities of color to develop transformative practices and new resources.
