“Meditation Practices for Educators, Leaders, and Activists” Webinar
7 August 2020

8:00-9:00am (Hawai'i) / 11:00am-12:00pm (Pacific) / 2:00-3:00pm (Eastern)

As we prepare to begin the fall term in schools and universities, and in the midst of a global pandemic, heightened anxiety and trauma, and political turmoil and uprising, educators, leaders, and activists who are advancing democracy and justice must continue to find ways to care for ourselves and build our own individual capacities to thrive, to grow, to be well, and to find joy in our lives and our work. In this introductory, interactive webinar, Dr. Kevin Kumashiro will share three of his favorite meditation practices—for mindfulness, for stress release, and for compassion—with brief presentations and time for participants to practice and reflect on each exercise. The practices will draw on the facilitator’s background as a mindfulness scholar and certified yoga teacher, but will be presented as nonreligious practices for anyone, regardless of religion or faith. Open to the public, but designed especially to support educators, leaders, and activists in K-12 and higher education.

Because this is an interactive workshop, it will not be recorded. 

Registration is on a sliding scale (pay what you can), starting at $0. If you are able, please consider one of the higher amounts to support this webinar.  Registration is required (registration closes one hour before the start time) and space is limited.

Please note: Instructions for joining the webinar will be emailed to registered participants a few hours before the start time.
