Sitting With What’s Real with Oneika Mays

In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Oneika Mays, a mindfulness teacher, yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist, and author whose work is devoted to making contemplative practice more accessible to communities that have too often been left out of mainstream wellness spaces.
Oneika has taught at Rikers Island, Kripalu, the Omega Institute, Lincoln Center, and beyond. She is also faculty at Embodied Philosophy/Yoga International, has been featured on SiriusXM and numerous podcasts, and is the author of the debut book Sit With Me: A No-BS Journey to Mindfulness and Meditation. Her work brings mindfulness down to earth, offering a practice that is honest, compassionate, embodied, and rooted in real life.
In our conversation, we explore a wide range of rich and meaningful topics, ranging from working with inmates to the social dynamics in The Traitors. We also explore dream work as spiritual practice, loving-kindness, creating safety inside ourselves, the art of compassionate nonattachment and other juicy topics!
This is a grounded, soulful, and very human conversation about what it means to stay present, care deeply, and keep coming back to ourselves.
