Edges & Intersections
Edges & Intersections
Meditation, Community Care & Social Justice
Last week, we began a new meditation series devoted to exploring the edges - both in the natural world as well as our internal landscape - and today’s interview and meditation practice do exactly that.
Marisela B. Gomez is a community activist, public health professional, and physician-scientist. She is a co-founder of Village of Love and Resistance in Baltimore Maryland, organizing for power, healing and the reclamation of land. And,she is a meditation and Buddhist teacher, and a student of the late Zen Master Thich Nhat Han.
She recently co-authored a new book, Healing Our Way Home: Black Buddhist Teachings on Ancestors, Joy & Liberation.
In today’s episode, Marisela and I talk about the edges and the intersections of contemplative practices, community care and social justice.
We talk about:
the role of love in practice and action
the misconceptions of self-care
how and why spiritual or contemplative practice is vital for the healing of the planet and all beings.
At the end, Marisela guides a beautiful meditation inviting us to explore and soften around our internal edges.
