You will be in a community of people with shared experiences. You’ll be guided in a 30 minute meditation practice with clear instructions. After the meditation there will be an opportunity to ask questions about your experience, followed by an hour discussion regarding Autism and Mindfulness. The whole class will last about an hour and a half and is donation based.
Pete has completed InsightLA’s meditation facilitator program and has been diagnosed with autism. For more info, you can visit Pete’s website.

Women and Whiteness

A group for those who identify as women and white to explore how racial conditioning has impacted us and those around us.
We’re moving into the fall with an intention to examine our whiteness. We will see how we have been shaped by societal and economic systems that are in place and which have formed our views and experience of race. We will work towards freeing ourselves from these ideas and for the collective liberation of all beings.
Along with personal investigation of our relationship to race, we will look at

The history of whiteness
The idea of privilege
Our own history and relationship to race
Spiritual practice as a support

This group is drop in with no reservation required. No prior experience is necessary. Bring your willingness and an open heart.
