Exploring White Conditioning
Sacred Activism Series: Part II
March 5, 12, 19, and 26
11:00am-1:00pm EST
As
we look into the concept of whiteness we will explore our assumptions,
implicit biases and unconscious behaviors with kindness and
honesty. Using writing, movement exercises, media, small group sharing,
and other experiential exercises, participants will be encouraged to
deeply examine their white identity. Awareness and compassion will be
brought into this exploration of how to co-create a more caring,
welcoming, and diverse community and world.
In creating a more awake society, we all have a responsibility to apply
the dharma to addressing suffering in our world. This includes
white-identified meditators investigating their own social conditioning
as white people and how this impacts people of color in our communities
and society at large. Many people of color throughout the Shambhala
community and other meditation communities have urged white people to do
this important work in a setting that does not burden people of color
with being the educators. We offer this course in that spirit and ask
that you join us
