BIPOC Retreat: Encountering Basic Goodness
With Dr. Shanté Paradigm Smalls
July 19 - 21, 2019
Join us in cultivating human dignity, the necessary ground for healing personal, interpersonal, and social oppression. As Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, we face socially constructed, racial hierarchy and racialized violence that disconnects us from ourselves and others. Through practices of feeling, being and touching basic goodness, we can re-discover our dignity and humanity. The weekend retreat will include meditation, contemplation, discussion, and movement.
Open to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color with all levels of meditation experience, from any tradition.
*** Transportation to and from Sky Lake is available on a sliding scale basis beginning at Port Authority. If you are interested in this option, please contact Adriana DiFazio by Friday, July 12th at adriana.difazio@gmail.com
