Relax into this compassion meditation led by Julie Potiker. You'll be breathing in compassion for yourself and others. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Resolute", from the book, "Call Us What We Carry", by Amanda S.C. Gorman.

Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history. She is an award-winning writer and cum laude graduate of Harvard University. Her work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as well as the African diaspora.
