Talk
10-Minute Metta Practice
A short guided loving-kindness (metta) practice from the Mindful of Race Institute founder.
About the teacher
A quiet, direct path.
Ruth King founded the Mindful of Race Institute, applying mindfulness practice specifically to the work of understanding and healing racial conditioning, most fully developed in her book Mindful of Race. Her teaching combines formal meditation instruction with direct, unflinching discussion of race and identity.
As of 2026, King has announced she is stepping back from regular teaching and organisational work, keeping only occasional, deliberately infrequent public appearances; the Mindful of Race Institute's Online Academy continues to offer self-paced courses.
