  • This week, Tovi Scruggs-Hussein invites us on a transformative journey through mindfulness aimed at racial healing and understanding our deep-seated biases. Through her guided meditation, we delve into the roots of implicit biases—those "carefully taught" lessons of childhood that subtly shape our attitudes and behaviors towards others. Tovi's approach fosters an environment of introspection and forgiveness, encouraging us to reflect on these ingrained prejudices and the impact they have on our interactions and societal structures.

    This meditation is a key part of our Racial Healing Series, guided by Tovi. This series offers a space for reflection, vulnerability, and learning, aimed at dismantling racism through emotional intelligence and cultural humility. Each session, including today's, builds on mindfulness techniques to explore race and racism, fostering deep, systemic change through personal and collective healing. Join us as we navigate these critical topics with compassion and awareness, striving for a more inclusive and healed society.

  • This week, Shalini Bahl offers a 12-minute meditation to make some space and time to reconnect with ourselves and ask the question, “What’s most important to me?” Research shows that we are most energized when we find purpose and meaning in what we’re doing. We feel depleted when we don’t take time to do activities that we find inspiring or important to us.

    This practice is part of a four-part series rooted in the lessons and wisdom from Shalini’s new book Return to Mindfulness: Disrupting Default Habits for Personal Fulfillment, Effective Leadership, and Global Impact, which launched on January 18th.
