Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness with David Treleaven

So Many Wings

Join us for an epic conversation as Jacks and Sascha interview David Treleaven about his work in the realms of trauma, mindfulness, and social justice. Some of the topics we explore together include:

• What would allow people to be as safe, powerful, and liberated as possible inside a contemplative practice?
• Is it irresponsible to ask people to “be with what’s here” if we don’t have an analysis of the social conditions or trauma they may have experienced?
• How the language of “mental illness” can often end up masking larger social factors
• The power of mindfulness practice in empowering us to grow our social justice movements.
