It is important that we develop a consistent practice of transforming ourselves, relationships, institutions, and culture to create a just world. In the four-week Skill in Action Series, we will explore what you need to create this practice and stay engaged in the work of creating conditions for our collective liberation. We will explore how we have been socialized to uphold systems of oppression, the kleshas (the root causes of suffering), how spiritual practice is an antidote to systems like white supremacy, what our dharma is at this time, and how to hold one another accountable as we work to create a just world.
Each session of the series will include meditation, self-study, movement, pranayama, large and small group discussions.
Some of what will be explored:
Meditation
Embodied practice and asana
Creating culture: Agreements and assumptions
Social location
Privilege, Power, and Oppression
The Kleshas, Samskaras and Karma
Spiritual Bypassing and Cultural Appropriation
Dharma and Duty to intervene, disrupt, and dismantle systems of oppression
Infusing Your Teaching with Social Justice Principles
