Melinated Mindfulness is a body-based practice designed to reduce, and eliminate, symptoms connected with stressful and traumatic experiences. This practice is BIPOC only because we deserve a space and place that is for us and by us. And, BIPOC communities deserve to thrive! For too many of us, the demands of social, political, economic, local, and global issues limit our lives to surviving. To thrive, we need tools to help us understand and navigate the myriad of harms we experience, based on our intersecting identities (e.g., race, gender, culture (e.g., language and religion), social class, sexuality). Particularly, we need tools to help us recognize and release how and where we hold stress in our minds and bodies.
