“This powerful trinity of Black authors invites us into the living room of their hearts, affirming who we are with earthy straight talk, textured diversity, and wise tenderness.”—Ruth King
Real talk on living joyfully and coming home to ourselves—with reflective self-care practices to help us on our interconnected journeys of liberation
In Healing Our Way Home, join three friends, three Black women, all teachers in the Plum Village tradition founded by Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, in intimate conversation, touching on the pain and beauty of their families of origin, relationships and loneliness, intimacy and sexuality, politics, popular culture, race, self-care and healing.
No subject is out of bounds in this free-flowing, wide-ranging offering of mindful wisdom to nourish our sense of belonging and connection with ancestors.
Authors Valerie Brown, Marisela B. Gomez, MD, and Kaira Jewel Lingo share how the Dharma’s timeless teachings support their work for social and racial equity and justice in their work and personal lives.
Healing Our Way Home offers insights in embodied mindfulness practice to support us in healing white supremacy, internalized racial oppression, and social and cultural conditioning, leading to a firm sense of belonging and abiding joy.
