Listening as Safety: Trauma Sensitivity and Cultural Responsiveness in Mindfulness Teaching
Date: 05/09/2026
Location: Online
This session is designed for mindfulness teachers who wish to deepen their capacity to hold diverse groups in ways that are trauma-sensitive and culturally responsive.
Moving beyond technique, we will explore the inner stance of the teacher: how our own conditioning, cultural lenses, and relationship to safety shape the spaces we facilitate.
Drawing from trauma-informed and somatic approaches, including interoceptive awareness, this session invites teachers to reflect on how to create environments where participants feel met in their bodies.
Examples from humanitarian and cross-cultural contexts will illustrate how mindfulness can be adapted in settings where trauma, displacement, and systemic inequality are present.
