Embodying Antiracism Community Circle
Embodying Antiracism Community Circle
A community and an ongoing conversation devoted to culture change
In Embodying Antiracism, we began to move from an intellectual understanding of racism (and other -isms) to a deeper knowing that white folks, despite our best intentions, are socialized to perpetuate hierarchies. To be antiracist, we must continually disrupt this unconscious patterning.
We developed a shared language, studied various frameworks, and pushed ourselves to show up and connect authentically. Each one of us who participated knows that anti-racism is an ongoing practice.
And so, knowing that “the work” is lifelong, we are ready to take the next step: committing to a community that centers “the work.”
This work can’t be done alone.
Let’s do it together.
Embodying Antiracism Community Circle
As community we will:
- deepen our understanding of our role as culture changers
-
hold the tension between our desire for transformative action and our current skill level
-
identify and embrace the unique way each of us shows up
- return again and again to our innermost spirals of patterning to weaken and dismantle the cycle of white supremacy culture socialization
-
meet one another (and ourselves) with compassion, humility and honesty
-
offer one another (and ourselves) generous accountability
-
work together to deepen our analysis, become more skilled and resilient in the work
Excited to link arms in this life-changing work.
