This article contributes to scholarship focused on the contemplative justice movement. The study analyzes the experiences of BIPOC activists engaged in contemplative practice through the Practice in Transformative Action (PiTA) program in Oakland, California. Utilizing a Black feminist power analysis, I interpret theories of social change and organizational affiliations among these activists to speak to the utility of contemplative practice as a form of radical self-care which supports the individual and their work for social justice
