A Meditation Episode: A Focus on Forgiveness with Collin Walke

Mental Health Download: Exploring Mental Illness, Suicide, Homelessness and Incarceration

Today, we're talking with Collin Walke, Oklahoma House Representative of District 87 and local attorney.

Collin is a native Oklahoman, and attended Oklahoma State University before graduating magna cum laude at Oklahoma City University School of Law. A true public servant, he was a long-time volunteer with City Rescue Mission before both serving and chairing their board of directors. Additionally, Collin serves on the Oklahoma Autisim Center Foundation, as well as the Oklahoma City Philharmonic Associate Board.

Collin is a 20+ year meditation practitioner who was inspired by his own experience to study further and begin teaching. In 2019, he and recent Mental Health Download guest, Shannon Stephens, co-founded Awake OKC - a nonprofit centered on bringing mindfulness and meditation to the community.

We are excited to have Collin on, today, and have him lead us through a meditation centered on compassion and forgiveness.
