Teaching Belonging

How are mindfulness and recovery practices informed by culture, heritage, race, and gender? This week, Rabbi Iggy speaks with Meghan Stewart-Wills, a renowned mindfulness coach with Unified Mindfulness. A multi-racial Black woman based in Ottawa, Canada, Meghan's work in local school boards supports youth in anti-discrimination and wellness initiatives. Together, Rabbi Iggy and Meghan map out the nexus of personal recovery and addiction recovery. They explore complex issues of race, the whiteness of recovery spaces, and the role of privilege in recovery. If you are interested in the intersections of self-restoration, restorative justice, and recovery, this episode is for you!
