For far too long many of us have been oblivious to our own unwitting participation in systemic racism, sometimes ignorant of our history and our privilege, and often blind to our subtle acts of exclusion. It is time for us white folks to step up – to stop relying on people of color to teach us about racism. It is our work to do. Come join us for inner healing work, a Zoom circle to unpack our collective grief, with small steps toward reparation in healing inequity and injustice. Please commit to all four sessions.

Our circle is about “discovering what death can teach us about living fully.” It will include reading, sharing thoughts, questions, inspirations evoked by the reading. It is not necessary to read the book ahead of time. The circle is open, participants come when they can. The conversations tend to be deep, meaningful, moving, funny, thought provoking–even life changing. This circle is currently full.
