Event
De-colonizing the Work that Reconnects Workshop
February 24th Friday evening 7pm -9pm, Saturday Feb 25th 9am -5pm through Sunday Feb 26 9.30am-12.30pm
In service to the Great Turning and the construction of an equitable and inclusive society something we need more than ever in the wake of the recent US presidential election we will work to uncover the blind spots of white privilege and identity that can inhibit our capacity for true solidarity and systemic change. How do we act with integrity, awareness, humility and accountability in our journey to dismantle the internalized and systemic nature of white supremacy?
We will both critique and utilize the Work that Reconnects as we unpack whiteness and deepen our commitment to anti-racist action and allyship in our country and world at this historical moment. Join us!
Fee for workshop: $200
