Practicing mindfulness is known to help with myriad mental and physical health issues, including those associated with addiction. Could having a meditation practice also help dismantle systems of oppression? 

Host Morgan D. Stewart sits down with Ablossi Tzaphkiel & Sara Bumpus of Recovery Dharma as well as Dave Creswell & Colleen of Madison Insight Meditation group to explore the connections between meditation, creativity, and recovery. It's a powerful, and deeply personal episode for Morgan, about how a search for inner peace led to finding belonging in recovery spaces.
