Gwen Mitchell

Alum 2023, Fellow 2023
Toby Symington Sacred Advocacy Fellow

Gwen is the founder and CEO of Moyo Institute, a nonprofit whose mission is to offer heart-centered educational experiences that foster inner peace, happiness, creativity, connection and oneness. She teaches meditation and self-care as a radical self-affirming response to racism. She is currently spearheading a project, Love Letters to Our Bodies, for African American women journeying with cancer. Gwen cohosted Black Space, a sacred listening event in response to the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, and the consequent outpouring of grief and anger. Gwen worked on a spiritual quest memoir that explores the connection between social justice and spiritual enlightenment.
