Black Zen Community Guided Meditation: Programming for Social Justice

$25

$3,000 goal

In partnership with Black Zen, Be Meditation Group is working to improve the health and well-being of black and brown communities by making meditation accessible and relatable. While our collective mission has always been to build communities that are mentally and emotionally equipped to thrive, we’ve found this has become more essential in this new challenging social and political climate.

 

People of all backgrounds who are fighting for social justice and the end of unjust oppression and discrimination are finding that meditation is a practice that can heal, teach, and change us in a way that allows us to become positive agents in transforming our collective community.

 

Organizations and the business community, on a national scale, have reached out to us seeking support for their staff during this time, and have asked us to help ease tensions within the workplace related to both the pandemic and the growing social movement.

 

In response to this and through the support of donations like yours, we’ve been able to offer virtual, guided meditation sessions at no cost, or on a sliding scale basis to support these groups and individuals!

On average, we're training a few days a week with roughly 50 individual participants per session. More recently, we have developed individual guided meditation programming to specifically reach members within communities of color.

 

As we rely on donated support to subsidize the price of meditation sessions for those who would otherwise not be able to afford it, we’re asking the Minnesota community to help support our efforts and give what you can!
