  • Create Fairness: Gain practical tools and techniques to promote fairness and equality. Discover how small actions can lead to big changes.

  • Evolve Human Consciousness: Purify your hearts and minds from scarcity, hatred, greed, fear, and domination toward abundance, compassion, generosity, understanding, and cooperation.

What sets the Breaking Bias Masterclasses apart?

  • Rooted in PRISM® Tools: Perspective-Taking, pRosocial Behaviors, Individuation, Stereotype Replacement, and Mindfulness – tools that help strengthen curiosity, compassion, joy, mindfulness, love, kindness, abundance, resilience, self-care, hope, optimism, and spirituality to meet the challenges of our times.

  • Psychological Safety: We cultivate an atmosphere where people feel safe expressing their truth and take risks so we can learn to build bridges across differences.

  • Playfulness: We embrace creativity and curiosity while remembering our human inheritance of joy in exploring new ideas and perspectives

  • Shame-Free: We foster a shame-free environment that allows participants to explore challenging topics without fear of judgment or stigma.

  • Science-backed: We are grounded in rigorous evidence-based methodologies proven to be effective and reliable in supporting inner and outer healing.

  • Trauma-Informed: Our trauma-informed practices recognize the profound impact of past experiences, guiding our interactions with compassion and understanding.

  • Action-Oriented: We don't just discuss ideas; we turn them into action. Through empowering conversations, real-world case studies, and hands-on resources, you'll gain practical skills to create tangible change in your community.

  • Intersectional Perspective: Our summit acknowledges that bias intersects with various aspects of identity, such as class, ethnicity, religion, race, gender, sexuality, and ability. By addressing these intersections, we ensure that our solutions are inclusive and comprehensive.

  • Collaboration: Join a collaborative environment where everyone's voice is heard and valued. Through open dialogue and collective problem-solving, we amplify the impact of individual efforts.

Inspiring Leaders and Practical Resources Await You

Through the Breaking Bias Masterclasses, you’ll hear inspiring stories from spiritual leaders, artists, CEOs, activists, and other bridge-builders who have challenged bias and promoted inclusivity.

Through these conversations, you'll also learn about the PRISM® Toolkit. Created by Anu, the PRISM Tools use the science of neuroplasticity to transform your mental habits of stereotyping, assumptions, and unskillful reactions.

And there’s more! Register today to get worksheets, poetry, art, meditation guides, and access to our library of tools to help you transform how you think, engage with others, and build a world where belonging replaces bias.

Past Attendees Say

  • “Such a gift. This will entirely shift how I teach my students about systemic oppression. Instead of only describing it, I feel I can now offer them a framework for changing it, too. So grateful.”

  • “Life changing. I have never been offered a culturally appropriate form for mediation before.”

  • “Excellence...I will be re-watching and thinking deeply about these presentations for a long time to come.”

  • “I loved the direct modeling of how mindfulness can make the unbearable bearable. I also loved hearing from the different voices, participants included. The sense of community was intense. I was very touched.”

ABOUT BREAKING BIAS: WHERE STEREOTYPES AND PREJUDICES COME FROM—AND THE SCIENCE-BACKED METHOD TO UNRAVEL THEM (2024, Hay House)

No matter who you are, Breaking Bias is for you.

Anu wrote Breaking Bias after decades of research revealing that breaking bias is the key to unlocking multiple crises in our world—from racism, sexism, classism, and other -isms to burnout, loneliness, and climate change. Breaking Bias blends ancient Buddhist wisdom with modern scietific evidence, and shares my signature PRISM® toolkit—a science-backed, somatically informed set of contemplative tools.

He also wrote this book with his students in mind (that’s you, now!)... so it’s full of reflection prompts that invite you (and show you how) to put these tools to use right from the start. This is a book with the potential to transform not just the way you think, but the way you live.
