Today’s profoundly uncertain, dynamic, and volatile sociopolitical climate calls us to awareness, accountability, and action for becoming actively anti-racist by seeing and reconstructing whiteness to be a force for transformative social good for all.

 

If our purpose is to create more connected, just, healthy communities and foster transformation of racist systems and structures, we must learn to see, listen to, and reckon with our internalized white dominance, as well as white dominance held and perpetuated by our families, communities, workplaces, institutions, and beyond.

 

This six-part virtual series will engage your mind, body, and spirit. In a spirit of inquiry and lifelong learning, we will connect, explore, listen, and develop ourselves with other white women committed to anti-racism and social justice. This series is meant to foster bottom-up self-awareness and transformation in order to radically and bravely sustain a commitment to social justice and well-being for all. The gathering will explore tools and topics for deconstructing whiteness and racism for white women to include belonging and bias, deep dialogue, ancestral patterns of white supremacy, somatic awareness of racialized trauma and fragility being expressed by the body, neuro-education of the stress responses by white folks to race-focused conversations, white feminism, and understanding the implications of our shared history along with other tools and strategies to help us to transform racism within and out in the world.
