About

Whether conscious or unconscious, the way we perceive others can create unintentional consequences for us and those around us. Mindful Connections™ for Bias Awareness is an evidence-based curriculum that helps reveal why and how bias lives in each of us, and how we can use mindful-awareness practices to help reduce the harm it causes.*

 

This course provides a space to uncover and explore your biases, understand them, and head off harmful reactions or behaviors. You’ll learn tools that can be integrated into a life-long practice of working with your mind and heart to help dismantle the negative biases so prevalent in our culture.

In Mindful Connections™ for Bias Awareness, we uncover:

  • What is bias? What can we be biased about?
  • Why would I want to work on my biases?
  • How do biases harm others, and how can we support people who have suffered bias and/or discrimination?
  • How are life outcomes different for victims of bias?
  • How do meditation and mindfulness help us work on our biases?
  • What are the structural and historical factors which lead to our socialization and creation of our biases?

We use four areas of bias as our learning springboard:

  • Bias toward people with disability
  • Bias toward people whose sexual orientation or gender identity is LGBTQ+
  • Bias toward people who are of a different race
  • Bias toward people who are a different ethnicity or speak a different language
