Description

A holistic system for gaining and maintaining the stability of mind necessary for authentic personal and social transformation--with simple, body-based exercises grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness

With three decades working in marginalized communities in the US, Israel, and the West Bank, mindfulness teacher and psychotherapist Jo-ann Rosen offers a wealth of wisdom and gentle humor in supporting people to access their inner strength and stability--even amidst outer chaos and catastrophe. Rosen draws on the example and practices of her teacher, the peace activist and Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh, who founded Plum Village mindfulness practice centers worldwide as places of healing and restoration, to show how meditation can aid collective awakening.
The Plum Village approach to emotional well-being cultivates stability and resilience while recognizing the unique social and ecological challenges of our times. Time and time again, even in places where trauma is commonplace, Rosen has seen that a regulated nervous system allows an individual to move from overwhelm and despair to stability and engagement. In Unshakeable, Rosen shares the methods by which we can broaden our resiliency, calm our nerves, and positively impact the collective. This process of healing and transformation for the collective good is the bottomless well from which the inspiration for Rosen's work bubbles up. By following the practices in this book, we can find an unshakeable source of strength within, not only as individuals, but also as communities.
