I have been practicing mindfulness in my own life for more than five years. I lead biweekly mindfulness meditations with my community's youth (13 to 18-year-olds). I also lead monthly mindfulness meditations at the university where I am employed. Finally, I have almost completed the university’s Mindfulness Training Certification Program, which includes the following modules: 1. Restoring Wholeness: Honoring the Wound and Cultivating the Antidote 2. Distractions as Gateways for Growth 3. Being and Practicing Compassion with Others 4. Trauma-Informed and Culturally Humble Lens in Mindful Service 5. Establishing a Professional Resilient Community
