The bravest and kindest sign of love that anyone can offer to minoritized communities involves understanding. At times, life’s complexities and the diversity of our human experience compel us to create subgroups that end up being marginalized, undeserved and vulnerable. People are not categories. It is not possible to define a human BEing by a two-dimensional checkbox.

This collaborative 4-session online series designed by AlmaYEspiritu will be led by experts in the field of mindfulness in minoritized communities, such as Latinx, Immigrants, People with Addiction, and Survivors of Suicide Loss and the Bereaved. Together, we will explore how mindfulness practices impact vulnerable groups – and what that means for all of us.

The purpose of these sessions is to help develop empathy, compassion, connection, and understanding of what it means to Be vulnerable. Let’s raise awareness beginning with ourselves, and experience mindful ways to feel understood and interconnected. All are welcome as we honor one another during kick off of the National Hispanic Heritage month.

Mindfulness and Mental Health

What is the relationship between mindfulness and mental health? This workshop explore how we define mental health and mental illness, and presents the idea of “mental hygiene” as a path to wellBEing. Together, we’ll consider ways these social constructs impact vulnerable populations. Opening Session led by Charity Collier, Elaine Ramos-Rodriguez and Criss Cuervo
