Special Mindful Broward Community of Practice focused on Environmental Justice, Peace, and Nonviolence honoring MLK Day of Service The Southeast Climate and Energy Network (SCEN) in partnership with Diversity in Aquatics (DIA), AHAM Education Inc. (AHAM) and the SWIMS Foundation has planned a Mindful Beach Clean-up event at the Historic African American Beach, Dr. Von D. Mizell/Eula Johnson Clark State Beach with the focused intention around environmental justice. We are intentionally hosting this event on Martin Luther King day at a historic black beach as a day of service and action honoring Dr King's legacy of nonviolence and peace. This special event is in connection to the weekly Mindful Broward Community of Practice hosted for community members in order to increase regular mindfulness practice for resiliency with an equity and inclusion lens. We will provide various mindfulness/healing practices that will be water-focused, and build a deeper sense of interconnection and appreciation to peoples and spaces in nature across time, while restoring belonging, inclusion, and common humanity among diverse individuals practicing as one community. Broward County students will have the opportunity to practice the afore-mention mindfulness and healing activities, share their experiences, learn how to integrate into their lives, serve in cleaning up beach, and earn volunteer service hours toward their graduation requirements.
