CULTIVATE HEALING & RESILIENCE
For those who identify as Black, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color, Kripalu's Global Majority/BIPOC Affinity Circle is one that honors your unique lived experience. This safe environment is a reflective, nurturing, affirming, and celebratory space where people who identify as BIPOC can find support while engaging freely in the sharing of successes and challenges that arise as part of the lived experience of these identities.
Through compassionate listening, embodiment practices, somatic inquiry, and more, you will
- Generate community, fellowship, and empowerment
- Discuss issues related to racial and ethnic identity development
- Envision and share strategies for greater racial and ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Note: These groups are only open to those who identify with the specific affinity circle theme.
This space is not open to people who would like to learn about the BIPOC identities of friends and loved ones. While we all have multiple social identifiers that reflect our lived social, emotional, spiritual, and physical experience, you will know the BIPOC Affinity Circle is for you if you can say unequivocally, “I am Black," "I am Indigenous," or "I am a Person of Color” and can speak to this group’s collective racial or ethnic identity and experience from the “I” and “we” perspective.
