Listen to a talk at the Mindfulness for Schools Conference on raising class awareness in the mindfulness field Social Class & Mindfulness
This experiential workshop (9.30-5pm) provides the opportunity to raise class awareness and to explore, identify and address classism within organisations. This is a CPD event designed by Clear Seeing and hosted by the Mindfulness Network in collaboration with Bangor University and The Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice.
Overview and key learning objectives
This experiential workshop provides the opportunity to raise class awareness and to explore, identify and address classism within the mindfulness field. The workshop supports organisations to become more inclusive and individuals to become more aware.
We will:
Explore cultural beliefs about social class
Explore class barriers
Identify the conditions that maintain unfair advantage, that limit accessibility or inhibit participation
Build cross-class alliances
Who is the training for?
This training is suitable for anyone working within the mindfulness field including teachers (new and established), trainers, supervisors, mentors and administrators, with an interest in exploring inequality, diversity and widening accessibility.
What are the requirements to attend?
Involvement in teaching mindfulness or dharma-based approaches and an interest in exploring inequality, diversity and widening accessibility.
What is involved:
The first step in promoting equality and accessibility is to change people's hearts and minds. Authentic human connection in a mixed-class group can be transformational for everyone. Through interactive group learning we will explore each other's class stories with curiosity and compassion. We will also have the opportunity to explore how classism is expressed on an organisational level and the steps that we can take to increase inclusion.
