Racial Justice Stances: Grounding in Our Truths (Open Enrollment)

The work of dismantling white supremacy challenges us to embody our true, liberated selves. But often, even talking about racism takes us away from ourselves and away from conscious choice in how we show up. This workshop will support you in developing new tools to keep you rooted in your authentic self even in moments of tension and conflict.

This workshop will help you:

• Develop a stance for racial justice conversations rooted in your values, magic and longings for the world;
• Better understand your triggers and how to notice and navigate being triggered;
• Sharpen your ability to discern when and how you choose engage in racial justice conversations;
• Practice your stance in real-world scenarios, guided by your facilitators, and
• Develop a set of habits and supports to help you continue to hone your practice of racial justice conversations.

Grounding In Our Truths serves progressive-minded professionals and activists who want to feel more rooted when talking about race, especially across layers of power and privilege. Whether you are trying to move your organization to address structural racism, talk about race with your family, or a facilitator looking to re-ground in yourself, this workshop has something for you.

Participants should have at least some basic knowledge about systemic racism and how it operates before signing up.
