ASIAN SOLIDARITY - Healing Through Meditations & Creativity 

If you’re searching for a sense of inner peace due to recent racial injustices, microaggressions or everyday stress… look no further! Meera and Jessica invite you to ease into a state of meditation using creativity and playfulness! 

Yes, meditation can be playful and creative! Together, we will explore music, dance, storytelling and writing to facilitate a mind-body-emotional alignment. You will learn to alchemize negative emotions into positive vibes, all while remaining centered and peaceful amidst chaos. 

Meera and Jessica will bring together their Asian roots and Western training, honoring the transformative power of cultural lineages and traditions behind these mind-body-spirit practices. A safe space will be created for you to authentically share stories of immigration, your hopes and dreams, and anything else your heart desires in the moment. We invite you to take up some well-deserved space by embracing and celebrating your identity, Asian or otherwise, with joy, gratitude and resilience! 

Join us Mondays from March 22 to April 26, 2021 for a FREE 6-week workshop. 

We will meet on Zoom from 9:00 AM - 10:30AM EST. Register here. Last day to register March 19, 2021.
