Description

On September 11, we dedicate this event to remembering lives lost, and restoring our connection to ourselves, each other and the earth as a radical act of healing and peace. AHAM Education Inc. (AHAM), Diversity in Aquatics (DIA), and the SWIMS Foundation in partnership with the Children Services Council of Broward and the Southeast Climate and Energy Network (SCEN), are hosting 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 at the first historic black beach in Florida as a day of service and action honoring the legacy of Von D Mizell and Eula Johnson, and reconnecting to mother earth as we heal. 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. Must sign waiver to attend. A media release will also be provided for photos and videos.
