This conversation between Dr. Gail Parker and Christina is full of truly relevant and thoughtful topics for you to consider this week. They discuss living a life of consciousness, race-based trauma, and how the two intersect. Dr. Parker marries the concepts of internal yoga - true union - with how it is we interact with the world, and with those different than us. She unravels the side-by-side pandemics we are living through - the Covid-19 pandemic, alongside an awakening to the pandemic of racial violence, injustice, and its pernicious effects on all of us. Do not miss this intelligent, thoughtful, and rigorous conversation.
