Please join Bluebird Sky Yoga and With Love DC for the fifth installment of Yoga for Change, a series focused on showing up as a warrior for love and justice. This month we’re joined by guest speaker Adrianne Burke as she leads us in a discussion on Anti-Speciesism - An Inclusive Call to Action.
Anti-Speciesism - An Inclusive Call to Action: Speciesism is the misguided belief that one species is more worthy of consideration than another -- the "ism" that is responsible for creating difference and leading to bigger injustice. Join us as Adrianne breaks down this belief system to make way for a deeper discussion on how we can stop violence toward ourselves, our planet, and all other animals alike.
About Adrianne: I am a peaceful warrior pushing for compassionate change by speaking up for justice, living a vegan lifestyle, teaching yoga, promoting radical self-care, and helping people reject speciesism on an everyday basis. I love speaking to college students and youth--they are the future of change in this country. I stand at the intersection of forgiving what's caused harm, and moving forward with real strong actions that prevent it from happening again. Until we address systematic oppression as systematic trauma, we will continue to be frustrated by our repetitive history. It's our responsibility to change the world. I see self-care as integral for helping people truly re-imagine, and re-create the type of world we want to live in. I'm also fascinated by technology--especially right now! After spending more than 7 years as a communication strategist for progressive nonprofits, and running my own consulting firm for three years, I hope to use this experience to help others stay connected during these changing times. I believe that the more we can focus on balancing our perspective, the better advocates we can be for creating the life we truly want to live.
