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?
