Stepping Into Discomfort - Reading, Resources, Reflections Library

Stepping into Discomfort is a movement founded in June 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. Inspired by a conversation that I had with my dear friend, the group was born from a desire to learn more about my own racism, my conditioning, and to be held accountable and supported by a group to gather, share, and examine our own relationship to antiracism and realization of systemic justice. Our group meets now on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm EST. We start off with 10 minutes of guided meditation and then have a 50 minute discussion.

By dropping into our bodies at the start of the discussion, our intent is to use awareness of feeling and embodiment of empathy as fuel for action, learning, unlearning, disruption, challenging, and creating change. As a group, we step into the discomfort of some of these difficult and often bypassed topics.
