Healing Ourselves Series 1: Un covering Implicit Bias Through Mindfulness

This 3-part series is a collaboration between Mindf ulness Consultant\, Meg Krejci and the Office of Diversity\, Equity and Inc lusion\, Erin Stampp\, and is open to all students\, staff\, and faculty. Participants will use mindfulness practices to uncover implicit biases with in themselves to support their work toward positive change. Our brain focu ses on protecting us and can inhibit our ability to lean into the discomfor t of acknowledging bias and staying in difficult discussions. We are bette r prepared to be partners in the work for positive social change when we:

1) Practice ways to manage our “fight/flight/freeze” response and
2) Understand how our perceptions impact our ability to be change agents.< /p>

These practices can become tools for engaging in difficult conversati on and anti-oppression work without shutting down or getting burned out.
