After sitting, we watched a TEDx video featuring Angel Kyodo Williams,"It's Not About Love After All". She explores how the word love is applied to mean different things, what Williams learned about the nature of love from bell hooks, and the ways in which justice and love are linked.
She also led the audience through an embodiment exercise that demonstrated how a mindful, embodied presence helps us stay balanced under pressure. A number of us walked though the exercise after the video, and in the process learned about our various relationships with mindfulness, pressure, and body.
