In this keynote, antiracism educator and somatic psychotherapist Francesca Maximé will guide us through her own personal journey of how mindfulness, somatic nervous system regulation practices and neuroscience psychoeducation became the needed trifecta to move from feelings of shame and unworthiness to courageous, collaborative and compassionate empowerment.
