These lunchtime online gatherings are an ongoing relational resiliency workshop series for white-bodied and white-presenting folks. These are meant for all white folks, but we especially encourage white educators, folks in the non-profit realm, therapists, parents of children of color, and those in social justice movements to attend.
Why a resiliency series? For many white people, the topic of racism, colonization, and the racialized system in which we find ourselves in our schools and places of work can feel overwhelming and confusing, commonly leaving them unequipped to stick with goals of inclusivity and anti-racism within their spheres of influence. This resiliency series offers white folks tools to help them stabilize, ground, and fully engage with accountability and movement towards a healthier culture. With these tools, white folks can fully engage with untying the inherited knots of collective racialized trauma.
UPCOMING:
For this third of four workshops, we will focus on how to share space by slowing down and practicing healthy humility, as well as how to make room for other cultures so we can learn to trust ourselves, to trust other white folks, and to hopefully slowly earn the trust of folks of color. Building trust takes time, but it’s totally worth the wait.
