Diversity in Culture Festival: Qi-Gong as an Antiracist Tool with Dr. Kathleen Yep, Monday, April 12, 12:00pm - 1:00pm
As Resmaa Menakem, Bellaruth Naperstek, Peter Levine, and Bessel van der Kolk discuss, oppression and violence get recorded in our bodies. Racism impacts how long we live, how well we live, and future generations. Qi Gong (chee-gong) is an ancient and contemporary practice involving breath, awareness, and movement that may provide somatic healing. In this applied session, we will learn about and practice qi gong as a way to mediate racialized, gendered, and classed trauma in the body. In addition to being a qi gong practitioner for almost 30 years, Dr. Yep is a tenured Professor of Asian American Studies at the Claremont Colleges who has spoken at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. https://kathyyep.com/
