BREAK UP THE WORKWEEK WITH A 30-MINUTE PAUSE
“We're deeply grateful to Jasmine Johnson of Black Zen, whose centering practice invited us to pause and breathe. Her guidance set the tone for this phase of our week-long retreat [and] beautifully aligned with this year's theme: Gather, Ground, Grow.”

“Thank you so much. I wasn’t sure what to expect on Zoom, but it was so inclusive, instructive, and inspirational. I felt so calmed by your teaching style, and I can’t wait until the next one. Feeling inspired to start the day. Thank you Jasmine!”

“Thank you so much! I continue to get great feedback regarding your meditation session, clearly it is something we could all use more of :). I’ve had many people reach out saying how much they enjoyed your meditation class and wanting to know more. I thought I would just jump in and ask, when are you available for a follow up session?”

"Black Zen works with various organizations, including the Innocence Project and the Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs, which focus on issues of social justice. Working with these organizations, Jasmine Johnson said, is a way for Black Zen to offer support and help prevent employees from burning out."

"The longevity social justice work requires, Jasmine Johnson added, is “a different kind of lift,” especially when those working towards social justice are impacted by the issues they seek to address on a daily basis."
