The Office of Engagement and Community Affairs has partnered with YogaRoots on Location to build your personal capacity to engage across lines of social difference and name how your unique identities show up in your practice as a boundary spanner. Gain the tools to be more aware, mindful, and culturally humble with the communities with which you partner in a supportive virtual cohort with other members of the Pitt community.
The series is open to faculty, staff, and graduate students and has limited availability; participants are asked to commit to attending all five sessions, which include a closing session and four modules. The sessions will be conducted via Zoom.
