SUMMARY:Mindfulness Compassion and Racism: An Anti-Oppressive Approach to Adult Education\, Thursday Feb 5 12-1PM
DESCRIPTION:A  FREE  Mindfulnes Toronto Community Event on line workshop (Zoom) \nMindfulness practice has been shown to deepen self-awareness\, strengthen our capacity to regulate emotions\, and support healthier relationships with others. It is also a key component of compassion\, which begins with awareness and clear seeing into our stress and suffering\, both individual and collective. Compassion involves acknowledging this stress and suffering\, together with the wish\, or the actions\, to help alleviate it. \nWhile mindfulness and compassion are increasingly recognized for their benefits\, there has been limited research exploring how these practices are experienced by racialized adults. In this presentation\, I will draw from my research to explore how people who identify as Indigenous or Black\, South or East Asian\, Middle Eastern\, and other ethnic minorities living in Canada (referred to here as BIPOC—Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Colour) experience racism or oppression\, and how mindfulness or compassion practices\, integrated with ancestral\, community\, and cultural practices may support them in processing these experiences \nThe broader aim of this work is to expand understanding and support educators and clinicians in developing anti-oppressive\, inclusive\, and culturally sensitive approaches to mindfulness-based education and care. By grounding mindfulness and compassion in lived realities\, this research seeks to contribute to practices that genuinely support well-being and autonomy among BIPOC individuals and communities. \nIn addition to discussion\, the session includes an experiential component. Participants are invited to engage in mindfulness and compassion practices\, along with guided reflection\, to explore how these approaches might be thoughtfully integrated into their own teaching\, clinical practice\, or research. \nAbout the presenter \nRose Mina Munjee is a PhD candidate in Education at the University of Reading in the UK. She has written for DIME\, Canadian Journal of Buddhist Studies\, and Mindful.org. She developed and taught “Mindfulness-Informed Interventions for Mental Health” at the University of Toronto and curated a speaker series entitled\, “Diverse Perspectives in Mindfulness and Mental Health.” She is a Registered Psychotherapist and certified teacher\, mentor\, and teacher trainer of evidence based Mindfulness programs (MBSR\, MBCT\, MSC). She develops curricula and has taught mindfulness-based interventions at the Center for Mindful Self Compassion\, the Centre for Mindfulness Studies\, the University of Toronto\, UCSD Mindfulness\, and for various corporations and in healthcare. Rose Mina has practiced insight meditation since 2007 and is a community meditation teacher with True North Insight where she runs groups\, retreats\, and nature walks and is a co-founder of Mindful Earth Refuge\, a Toronto-based\, in person\, EcoDharma monthly practice group. She is a BIPOC woman of South Asian origin and is originally from South Africa. \nTO REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT GO TO EVENT BRITE

SUMMARY:The Compassionate Self: Using Mindfulness to Discover the Joy Within
DESCRIPTION:The Compassionate Self: Using Mindfulness to Discover the Joy Within \nWhile we readily accept the imperfections of those we love\, we often judge ourselves harshly\, creating anxiety and blocking our own inner growth. Mindfulness can help us develop the skill to feel more warmth and love for everyone as we navigate our lives. \nThis interactive day-long workshop will focus on building self-compassion skills. We will begin with developing a better understanding of the relationship between our thoughts and emotions and the role they play in determining our outlook in life. We will then work with a number of practices designed to counter habitual tendencies and create a shift in awareness from self-judgement to one of self-compassion and kindness towards ourselves and others. \nThe day will be split into three parts\, each containing a talk and practice. Chairs are available but you are welcome to bring your own mat and cushion. You will also be given specific practices to engage in during a morning break of 15 minutes and the one-hour lunch break. \nAnyone looking to become more proficient in understanding how the mind and emotions influence how we identify with ourselves and the world around us will enjoy the many practical tips\, techniques and practice to enhance overall well being and establish a more joyful\, compassionate self-view. \nDate: Saturday\, February 21st 9am to 4pm \nLocation: St. Cuthbert’s Church\, 2 Bond St.North\, Hamilton\n \nFees*:\nEarly bird:  Member  $80 Non-member $100** Financially Challenged $50 \nAfter February 15th: Member $90  Non-member $110 Financially Challenged $60 \nRegister on Eventbrite Here \n*Fee includes a morning snack and drinks during breaks.
