Mind Body Soul Retreats

It is 2020 and in the midst of a global pandemic reaction some of us have been additionally shocked, re-traumatized, mortified, agrieved and/or galvanized to further action by the horrific midday murders of Ahmaud Arbery by white civilians and George Floyd by US law enforcement. In some way each of us has been affected either by outrage, frustration, despair, terror, numbness or confusion. As such, we can begin to view systemic racism as a blight that we’ve all inherited from from our ancestors. It is a collective affliction that’s reaching a critical mass we can no longer tolerate.

So what can we envision together for our world in 2030?  Can we dedicate time, space, and energy to reflect, be accountable for, and learn from our own past mistakes and our collective history? Can we be intimately aware of racism and remedy its disastrous effects, while still transcending the idea of racial categories, which don’t even actually biologically exist? How do we discuss racism and systemic oppression without reaffirming the illogical existence of “race” as a human identity concept? What steps can we take as individuals to create a better world that is just, that is equal, and that does not degrade humankind, but instead nourishes its infinite potential in Mind Body and Soul?

Below you will find a growing list of resources to encourage vulnerability, knowledge, self reflection, understanding, healing and change. This is a living list that will blossom with time. If you would like to make a suggestion or submission to this page, contact us at info@mindbodysoulretreats.org.

Also, there is no need to suffer, or to suffer alone. Contact us for support and competent stress and trauma healing sessions. We can work together in online healing sessions for recovery from secondary/vicarious trauma, ancestral trauma, racial trauma, collective trauma and social/cultural trauma. Remember that when we take time to heal ourselves, we send rippling healing effects out into our communities and the rest of the world.
