A grassroots, community offering. White folks becoming white aware – A first step in dismantling racism.
INVITATION: See below for more about our new, nor intimate Cohort. For folks who want to learn and un-learn the patterns of whiteness, of privilege, dominance, and fragility, in the company of others on the path of anti-racism work. Please join our mailing list for the most current information on our offerings.
RSVP: To receive the Zoom link for specific monthly offerings, RSVP here.
INTENT: This space is primarily for self-identified white folks, to do the necessary work of deconstructing whiteness. A space is offered to feel discomfort, make mistakes, to examine biases and experiences in a supportive atmosphere.
GOAL: To come away with actionable items for our own lives that eventually create a safe and welcoming community for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
