Sovereignties and Colonialisms: Resisting Racism, Extraction and Dispossession
2015 Critical Ethnic Studies Conference May 1, 10:45-12:15, Founders Junior Common Room 024E This experiential workshop will offer participants a way to respect and connect with their pain (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, inter-generational, inter-relational) with embodied awareness and kindness/compassion. Compassion is defined as the capacity to turn towards pain with kindness. Often, we push away our pain with judgment, fear, and distraction. Reacting to pain in this way can at times be brilliant action to take, but in the long run, these critical life-saving skills can impact our holistic health at great costs. Introducing skills in mindful awareness can offer an embodied way for us to become aware of how we relate to our pain and how to relate to the pain with attitudes of deep self-respect and compassion/kindness. Dominant Western discourses privilege disembodied learning, marginalizes embodied knowledges such as mindfulness; re-centering our many traditional ways of healing decolonizes. It becomes a revolutionary act to embody our awareness/knowing and to turn towards ourselves with compassion in a culture which denies us our dignities in most aspects of our lives. https://www.facebook.com/events/727938863983880/

Compassion, this is mentioned in this post. Also, to add, as what I have learned from this book An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life, I liked how this book answers and elaborates all about the topic and question : How does one actually become a compassionate person? Very interesting. 7/14/2015 05:44:48 pm

They are giving a good training to prepare individuals that how to feel good and give respect to others who belong with different ethnic background. These types of workshops are very important to organize and trained people for this important issue of life. 10/7/2015 09:49:13 pm
I think these types of workshops are very important in every part of world. Majority of disputes are mainly happened due to racism. If we organize events, seminars and workshops in which we give education about how to deal with different ethnic background people. Education institute must take this initiative and give proper education. 11/15/2015 06:10:08 am
