Mindfulness and meditation are powerful practices to become rooted in ourselves and this is the strongest foundation for empathy, compassion and change – personally and professionally.
Why we use mindfullness @ Courage Institute:
- Systems of oppression, such as racism and sexism, are culturally maintained through human action and inaction in society. From our everyday unconscious biases to more overt injustice.
- Being deeply rooted in ourselves gives us an excellent foundation to become aware of our own biases as well as being able to understand and relate to the experiences and realities of our colleagues and fellow citizens.
- Courage Institute uses mindfulness and meditation in our workshops and training not just for personal and professional coping strategies but as useful tools to create anti-oppressive work environments.
