Designed for shared exploration, this practice-based resource includes guided meditations, somatic exercises, mindfulness practices, and reflection prompts for book clubs, organizations, classrooms, and spiritual communities
Somewhere between silence and saying the wrong thing, many white readers find themselves frozen. Reckoning with whiteness is not just an intellectual exercise. It is lived, embodied, and practiced. Applying the embodied mindfulness teachings of peace activist and Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh to racism, Jassy Denison invites readers into a grounded exploration of racial harm and healing. Through personal story, somatic support, and guided meditations, readers are invited to unearth inherited patterns, work with shame and reactivity, and confront racism more skillfully in service of a safer world for everyone.
Readers will find:
- Invitations into joy and interconnection: Reclaim the capacity for presence, wonder, and shared humanity amid difficult conversations
- Somatic guidance: Reconnect with the body as a source of clarity and grounding
- Guided meditations and contemplative exercises: Learn to stay present with discomfort, fear, and reactivity without shutting down
- Illuminating reflections: Gently uncover inherited patterns and conditioned responses to open possibilities for greater understanding, compassion, and choice
- Honest storytelling: Explore vulnerability, accountability, and movement toward more authentic, connected relationships
This is not a book about having the right answers, but a body-based offering to shift how we live and relate, from the inside out. What if the place you feel most uncertain is also the place you can begin?
