As a librarian of a theological seminary with a social justice focus, Laura Giacobbe’s subject expertise is in spirituality and anti-racism. As a meditation practitioner for over 20 years, Giacobbe has taught how to connect the community through the power of healing meditations.

Meditation, particularly lovingkindness meditation, provides a tool for opening the heart space and to engage in deep reflection. As a certified racial healing circle facilitator, Giacobbe works to provide a safe space, to encourage deep reflection through a series of listening and speaking exercises. Through these exercises, participants connect their life stories and recognize the intersectionality of not just race, but gender and other social constructs.

Coming from a holistic foundation, Laura Giacobbe combines the methods of the racial healing circle with the concepts learned in meditation.
