Finding Your Authentic Voice in the Movement for Equality
with Justin Michael Williams
In this workshop, we are grateful to welcome author, speaker, and musician Justin Michael Williams to share his thoughts on a mindful movement toward equality and social justice. Together, we will enter the shadow of discomfort, and process the emotions we must face with courage and openness if we want to see real, lasting change. The key: authenticity. The way you as an individual participate in this movement will not (and should not) be plagued by comparison. What the world needs right now, more than ever, is for all of us to wake up together. To claim our authentic voice. And to start the revolution from the inside out.
Prepare to experience a dynamic journey with Justin that will include a soulful talk, music, a mindfulness practice and education, which from the ground up, have been built to welcome all ages, genders, identities, religions, and socioeconomic statuses. Regardless of your identity—you are welcome here.
In this two hour class, you will learn:
- The Two Common Myths that Will Ruin Your Meditation Practice
- How To: Discover Your Unique Energy Signature
- Moving from Uncertainty to Inspired Action
- How to: Spot Internal Oppression and Turn Your “Mess” into Magic
