ANIMAL JUSTICE ACADEMY LUNCHTIME LIVE:
How Meditation and Mindfulness Can Strengthen Your Activism
with Tashi Nyima

Tashi Nyima is one of a kind... He's a vegan Buddhist monk who's an animal rights and death-row activist out of Texas.

In this AJA Lunchtime Live, Tashi will share why he believes meditation and living more mindfully is key to being a resilient and effective animal advocate. Tashi will explain some simple ways to start exploring meditation without getting discouraged.

He’ll also talk about how practicing mindfulness can help us:

  • deal with conflicts within and outside our communities
  • prevent burnout
  • boost our confidence
  • diffuse anger, anxiety, or sorrow
  • make us a more compelling advocate

Tashi will share about the twice yearly online meditation retreats (put on by the Pollination Project) that he leads for dedicated animal advocates, and you'll find out how to take part in the one at the end of May.

*We invite folks to have their video on during this event to enhance the sense of community, but it’s not mandatory
