#26 White Supremacy and Racial Healing: Jo is joined by Kaira Jewel Lingo this week for a conversation about her work- looking at themes of racial justice, climate and social inequality, white privilege and white awareness. Formerly a Plum Village monastic, she also shares about her close training with Thich Nhat Hanh and how the tradition influences her new book: We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons for Moving through Change, Loss, and Disruption, readings from which can be found here on the app.
Kaira closes the episode with this guided meditation:
''Breathing in, give space for your resistance to be here, letting the reaction become what you allow and give space for...be here and unfold''.
