As meditation traditions have come to the West, they have often happened in predominantly white spaces. As a result, meditation communities frequently have upheld systemic whiteness and perpetuated microaggressions on practitioners of color. Teachers like Lama Rod Owens, Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Ruth King, and Rhonda Magee help us do the work to create antiracist communities. Here are additional resources for both practitioners of color and white practitioners:
Black, Indigenous, People of Color Community Group from Common Ground Meditation Center in Minneapolis
Ruth King - Mindful of Race 101 training (scholarships are available and/or read her book)
Rhonda Magee's book: The Inner Work of Racial Justice
