OPWAR podcast 126 Will Hardy: @suansatiThe Garden of Mindfulness

This is one of 2 podcasts I’m releasing in 2023. I decided at the beginning of the year that it would be one of learning and receiving. I traveled the world, went to 2 different trainings, and got certified in SomatiQ Breathwork & Yoga — further developing my ability to be of service while deepening my devotion to spiritual practice. 

Along this journey, I’ve met some pretty incredible people. One of them is this man. Someone with such a kind soul who lives a life with pure intention. 

I spent 4 weeks with him & his family along with a cohort of yogis for our 200 HR Yoga teacher training in Chiang Mai Thailand. It was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but it speaks to the integrity of this path that there are no shortcuts and so much to learn in discomfort. 

This conversation took place on the second to last day of our training. There was supposed to be a video that went along with it — but a common theme for me was ‘letting go’
as I botched many many technological executions while on the property. 

Anyway, it felt really good to listen back to this convo and dip back into my podcast flow. Excited to get it back up and running in 2024 and beyond with some new skills and perspectives to share with you all. 

Much love, my beautiful listeners. ❤️

How might reparations be envisioned through healing justice? Envision a healing path for Black Americans, one that encompasses emotional, mental, and physical well-being support. The concept of community care in this context visualizes reparative justice through the provision of mind-body health services to empower and heal Black communities.

In this short episode, Danny (creator of Black Boys OM) shares his ancestral origin story of traditional African plant medicine.

Also, in our socials, there is a Healing Circles and Retreats mailing list. Each of these healing experiences has a focus on rest, healing, self-discovery, community, and mind-body health for Black Men and Men of Color. All Men/Masculine Persons are welcome. Each time a retreat or circle becomes available, you will receive information on learning more about that event as well as ways to register. These spaces are for all ages, especially youth.
