Healing through Meditation
Donation protected
On September 29, 2019, I will be embarking on a transformative journey of self-healing through meditation and yoga beginning in Nepal and then landing in India for nine months. As someone who has traveled through NYC’s foster care system for 20 years, living in 30 different placements, and coping with ADHD and life-threatening trauma, I have found through meditation a form of catharsis where I can release my inner pain in a constructive way. It was after graduating from NYU, I began to take my meditation deeper and realized all my inner disorder causing my confusion and sought to continue to use meditation as a tool for my healing.
In April, 2019, I was given the unique opportunity of teaching meditation at my former elementary school P.S. 108, where I connected with children who have too experienced challenging upbringings but who have demonstrated great resiliency and have entrusted me as their leader on our path of spiritual and intellectual enlightenment. When I return from my journey of healing and awakening in June 2020, I will begin teaching in the fall meditation and yoga full-time at 108 to a multitude of students of all grades, to my former teachers and will even have a class for the parents, so we can all heal and grow together.
I have decided to leave on 9/29 since it is my mother’s birthday and I am dedicating my entire journey to her, as she looks down at her son take this adventure of healing from a childhood filled with disappointments, loneliness, and self-hate. It is my mission on this journey to not simply heal my own self through meditation but to come back and change as many lives as I can through meditation, yoga, and inspiration.
I am still in the process of planning where I will go in India so please do not expect me to have it all figured out but rather I personally ask you to put your faith in me and my pilgrimage and know every dollar you donate will be used not only for myself but will ultimately impact every child, teacher and parent I help change when I return. Lastly, your investment will also help me write my memoir, as I will spend the next nine months in solitude writing my story of how I overcame the foster care system!
I have started a blog that goes into greater detail on why I need to take this trip and I highly recommend you read it before donating so you can have a clearer understanding on why I need to take this expedition (See below for link). Finally, please follow my adventure as I will continuously share my experiences and transformation as they unfold through my blog and social media accounts.
With all my love and appreciation,
