Professional Development Opportunities in Mindfulness and Equity

Here are some professional development opportunities I have found. Feel free to add more! 

Neurodecolonization and Indigenous Mindfulness is a project by Michael Yellow Bird, PhD from the University of Manitoba 

White Awake waking ourselves up for the benefit of all (for white identifying folx)

Mindfulness for the People Radically Reimagining the Mindfulness Movement was inspired by our dream to center Black and Brown folx in all things mindfulness research, teaching, practice, and tech. 

Academics for Black Survival and Wellness and Wells Healing  https://wellshealing.podia.com/ is a personal and professional development initiative for Non-Black academics to honor the toll of racial trauma on Black people, resist anti-Blackness and white supremacy, and facilitate accountability and collective action. A4BL also is a space for healing and wellness for Black people.

University of Minnesota: Mindfulness for Racial Justice

This article arose from a conversation with Rhonda Magee, a law professor and mindfulness teacher and the author of The Inner Work of Racial Justice: Healing Ourselves and Transforming Our Communities through Mindfulness. Magee writes about the importance of mindfulness for people of all and various racialized identities working toward racial justice. This article is written from our understanding as white-embodied, cisgender women, and includes reflections from Rhonda, a Black-embodied, cisgender woman. It may be especially helpful for white-embodied readers who are interested in understanding how mindfulness-based practices might assist them in addressing systemic racism, or, for people of color exploring ways of working with white-embodied people through mindfulness. We encourage all readers to check out Magee's writings to see how her work resonates for you.

Learning for Justice: Mindful of Equity

Practices that help students control their impulses can also mask systemic failures. Written for a K-12 audience however I think this resource translates well to higher education as well.
