Mindful Mondays with Melina Bondy

So much of the Dharma, especially mainstream mindfulness, has been appropriated by corporate interests and a colonial mindset. But the Dharma is about freedom from everything, even social systems. Explore how decolonial teachings can help to awaken the dharma for our times, and how the Dharma invites us into decoloniality.

The session begins with a 30-minute Dharma Talk followed by a 30-minute guided meditation and closes with a brief embodied experiment.
