Embodying Antiracism 2: a continuing conversation for white folks

Embodying Antiracism 2

Deepening, Integrating and Clarifying our Antiracist Work

 

Deepening our understanding of our power to create change.

Holding the tension between our desire for transformative action and our current skill level.

Accepting and owning the unique way in which each of us shows up.

 

Continually coming back to our innermost spirals to weaken and dismantle the cycle of white supremacy culture socialization.

 

Focusing more and more on how we show up.

Moving steadily into aligned and sustainable action.

 

Let’s keep going.

Embodying Antiracism 2:

This series is designed for participants of Embodying Antiracism who want to keep on going.  The theme of this round is deepening, integrating, strengthening.

During our time together, we will be continuing to build an antiracist foundation from the inside out (while not forgetting the importance of showing up imperfectly…this is not a linear journey). We will work to better understand our influence to effect change, and also strengthen our ability to wipe ourselves off and get back in action when we mess up.

This time, in addition to the study of the Cycle of Socialization, we will be working with Tema Okun’s and Kenneth Jones’ work, “White Supremacy Culture.” We will look at select characteristics of white supremacy culture and deliberately move against the grain of these specific supremacy characteristics in our relationships with self, family, and community.

Characteristics we will examine include conflict avoidance/niceness, perfectionism, either/or thinking.

Excited to link arms in this life-changing work.

Embodying Antiracism 2 will be offered again in September.

Meeting dates: Alternate Wednesdays on September 8, 22, October 6,, 20, November 3, 17
