Meditation is not about relaxing, it’s about BECOMING MORE ALIVE. And if you grew up in the struggle—overcoming homophobia, sexism, trauma, shame, depression, poverty, toxic masculinity, racism, or social injustice—you need a different type of meditation… one that doesn’t pretend the struggle doesn’t exist. This isn’t your typical mindfulness workshop. In this session, you will learn how to use meditation to overcome what Justin calls “internal oppression,” and how to pinpoint the wounds that seem to be stopping you every time you try to grow. You’ll also be guided through a proprietary process of discovering your Unique Energy Signature so that you can experience what Justin calls “Radical Resilience.”

An organization is only as good as its culture—and mindfulness can help build a culture of respect, justice, wisdom and compassion.

Despite decades of legal and social reform aimed at reducing discrimination in the workplace, inequality continues to be a significant problem in all societies and most workplaces.

In this seminar, you will learn about the role of mindfulness to help identify the perceptual and psychological processes that impact the way that we see and interact with each other and help us uncover hidden beliefs and biases. You will learn the science behind biases and how mindfulness practice helps free us from past conditioning and habitual patterns, helping to remove the filters and preconceived ideas that shape our perceptions and cloud our consciousness. We will also explore the role of mindfulness and compassion in building psychological safety, and offer practical actions to build diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces. The goals of this talk are to help you understand the complex dynamics underlying diversity, and break beyond the barriers that hold us back from thriving together.

Testimonials from Ultragenyx Team:

“Justin and Shauna’s workshop is a must for any organization or leader that is looking to invest in racial and social equality. Through their workshop, we learned the powerful data and neuroscience of mindfulness and compassion, and where bias comes from – so we can individually and collectively begin to unlock the beliefs that get in the way of creating cultures of true inclusion and belonging. The workshop also included very powerful experiential activities that helped us all look at our own privilege and power, and begin the inner work of looking at how we can use it to spark positive and meaningful change – both within us and around us. For any person or organization that wants to embark on a journey to create workplaces where all humans can thrive, you will want Justin and Shauna to be with you, leading this important dialogue.” - Bria Martin, Vice President, Organizational Strategy and Development, Ultragenyx
