Opis

Healing Justice offers a framework and practices for change makers who want to transform oppression, trauma, and burnout. Concerned with both the possibilities and limits of mindfulness and yoga for self-care, the book attends to the whole self of the practitioner, including the body, mind-heart, spirit, community, and natural world.

Recenzje

I enjoyed Lorettas book immensely and found I had a smile on my face most of the time I was reading it. Loretta draws nicely on information from social work, neuroscience, mindfulness, yoga, and her personal experience to provide evidence of what it means to be comfortable in our own bodies. The healing justice framework, case studies, and practice suggestions also model well the holistic approach she advocates, making it a useful book for students and practitioners alike. This is an important book for change makers to have on their bookshelf.
