Anti-Racism Discussions & Action

2021 Monthly Series:  
Mondays 5:00-6:00pm via Zoom
Next session: , Nov. 8

Discovering our own complicity in historic, systemic racism is deeply troubling. Brave Spaces brings conversation partners together to learn about race theory, to uncover new voices from the past and present, and to live out beliefs more faithfully. We’ll meet monthy in community to learn and to support each other on a life-long journey of being anti-racist. We’re engaging in action to learn increasingly honorable forms of allyship. Being an ally requires those of us who have privilege and power to engage in self-reflection, learning, and action to support and to stand in solidarity with those who are experiencing racism in our community.  

 

In the fall, we'll engage in learning based on Layla Saad's book Me and White Supremacy.  We hope you’ll join us as we move forward into allyship and action.

​For more information, contact Julie Polikoff, Jane Staller, Sharon Oliver or Sallie Suby-Long.

A New Group will Begin on Thursday, September 2nd

(engage at your own pace with weekly community check-in via Zoom and in person) 

Practices of wellbeing can help us reset, renew and flourish even in challenging circumstances.  Dr. Sallie Suby-Long will facilitate the learning community as together we integrate wellbeing practices into our daily lives. The experience will include conversations, readings, videos, research, and connection with others for reflection and shared learning. Join Sallie to identify your signature strengths and explore wellbeing practices including social connection, gratitude, self-compassion, meditation, movement, and savoring. The Practices of Wellbeing experience invites you into individual learning (in your time, at your pace) and a weekly gathering to connect in community. For more information contact Sallie

We are offering a Parent Wellness Check for families and invite you to join us for meaningful conversation and telling stories about what you, as a family, have overcome.  We will offer a variety of resources to help guide your family through this incredibly unusual time.
