In 2020, you did what you could to understand why racism still persists in our society. You read books like How to be an Anti-Racist, Caste, and White Fragility. You attended webinars by leading activists. You shared the mic with Black and Brown voices on your social media accounts. You donated money to organizations demanding policy change. You participated in affinity groups to undo racial bias. Or perhaps you didn’t do any of the above, but you just held your friends and family closer than ever before. Regardless of where you’ve been on your journey, what now?
In 2021, we invite you to join us on a transformative learning and healing journey of breaking racial bias.
Racial bias is a habit of thought. It gets triggered subconsciously because of how our minds have been socially conditioned. And despite the achievements of the Civil Rights era, racial bias is the main cause for persistent racial disparities. In the last 55 years, we may have changed the laws, but we have yet to change hearts and minds.
We designed Breaking Racial Bias to do just that. The material in our course stems from Anu’s fifteen years of legal and scientific research, his work in frontline communities, and his dedicated meditation practice for which he has logged over ten thousand hours.
Science shows that it takes four to six weeks of dedicated practice to change a habit. Fortunately, mindfulness is one of the best tools for changing habits and breaking racial bias when targeted skillfully.
Breaking Racial Bias will help you bridge the head with the heart. It doesn’t matter what profession or industry you work in, our curriculum will help you learn the who, what, where, when, why of systemic racism, racial bias, and how we came to be where we are today. The course will also place you in our shame-free, compassion-based learning container where you will adopt mindfulness practices into your daily life and practice science-based tools with one another.
Breaking Racial Bias is for anyone who wants to advance racial equity and belonging through their professional or personal life; and especially for those who want to approach this work through the lens of science, history, and mindfulness. Our goal is to give you enough knowledge and experience so after completing this course, you can take specific steps to advance racial equity and belonging in your own communities.
With everything that happened in the past year and even the last decade, this course is made for this moment. We want to help you move beyond conversations and into action. All we ask is that you bring curiosity, openness, and willingness to dedicate at least five hours a week for five weeks. Learn more about the course here.
Following in the footsteps of Dr. King, our goal is to build a beloved community. This will require a qualitative shift in our hearts and a quantitative shift in our lives.
We hope you’ll join us in making these qualitative and quantitative shifts to build a nation and a world where we belong everywhere. Breaking Racial Bias starts on January 28th. Claim your spot now!
