Advance Wellness and Equity: Build the Skills to Foster a More Compassionate World

Discover the powerful connection between wellness and equity, and learn how to drive meaningful change in just 90 minutes.

In a world where mental health and social equity are increasingly important, understanding the relationship between wellness and equity is essential. The Wellness & Wellbeing Foundations course provides the tools and knowledge you need to foster personal wellbeing while advancing equity in your community or workplace. This 90-minute, self-paced program will help you connect these concepts and empower you to take meaningful action.

We're living through the 21st century Civil Rights Movement right now.

Our children, grandchildren, and descendants beyond will read about this time in their history books.

SNCC, the Freedom Riders, and the March on Washington organizers weren't born ready to change the world. In fact, they specifically trained their bodies, thought patterns, and nervous systems in nonviolent social change, following in the tradition of thousands of years of leaders before them.

Anu's research synthesizes learnings from these ancestors, and others like Thich Naht Hanh and Thomas Merton, into the PRISM Toolkit: a simple, practical set of actionable tools to protect us in this time of deep polarization, increased mental health struggles, and rampant burnout.

Wellness and equity are two sides of the same coin -- and we have the tools to build both.

Testimonials

“I learned so much from this course with Anu. His approach of combining mindfulness practices with education and sharing of experiences was really powerful to be a part of - I found myself feeling challenged, nourished, encouraged, overwhelmed, and so much more throughout this course. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about bias and how to change ourselves so that we can improve society.”

Lia Avellino, LCSW

“This was the best deep dive into Breaking Bias, I have been in. I have taken many courses on unconscious bias and cultural competency and this one was the kindest and most comprehensive course I have taken.”

Mordy Walfish

Leading Edge

“This course was an incredibly eye-opening experience and Anu is an incredible teacher. The course seamlessly wove together the personal, professional, institutional, societal and historical -- such an important approach to tackling racial bias. I appreciated all of the tools and the optimistic approach.”

Keedra McNeill, MD

Kaiser Permanente

“This course provided an extensive background on the origins of race in America and how the systems which oppress came to be. Through this understanding, guided self reflection, and interactions with colleagues in the course, I feel as though I can continue the process of self learning to break my own biases and hopefully bring this learning to my institution as well.”

About Breaking Bias

Imagine a world without bias. A world where all human beings can truly be just as they are and unleash their full potential. Take a moment to imagine how you feel in such a world—not what you think about it, or whether you believe it's possible, but how you feel.

This is the proposition that opens the bestselling Breaking Bias. It’s your invitation to embark on a journey that will radically change your experience and show you how you, in turn, can help reshape our world.

Blending ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern scientific evidence, Anu takes us on a deep-time journey to explore human identities and identity-based biases and to recognize that breaking bias is the key to unlocking multiple crises in our world—from racism, sexism, classism, and other -isms to burnout, loneliness, and climate change. Then he offers his signature PRISM toolkit—a science-backed, somatically informed set of contemplative tools—to help us dismantle learned bias within ourselves and in the world around us, moment by moment, with probing questions and writing prompts throughout the book that invite us to put these tools to use right from the start.
