12pm-1:30pm: Workshop with the Center for Restorative Justice Works
2pm-3:30pm: Meditation with Jylani Ma’at

At 12pm, the afternoon kicked off with a workshop presented by the Center For Restorative Justice Works introducing how people at an individual level can become involved in compassionate activism. The workshop included an introduction to restorative justice, non-violent and healthy communication and conflict resolution, and the importance of community and relationships in the role of healing.

All ages were encouraged to attend this workshop.

Following the workshop, at 2pm, Jylani Ma’at led groups in meditation. In Ma’at’s words, Black still*ness is an opportunity to sit in and with many B/blacknesses via an exploration of the senses. Ma’at guided visitors in exercises of simple embodiment and presence toward a sense of peace and well-being.

There were multiple meditation sessions, each limited to 10 participants.

These workshops were free and open to the public. RSVPs were encouraged.
