Description

This book is written so that the reader can connect with a word, phrase or sentiment each and every day of the year that will give the gift of sufficiency even if it is just for a moment. On the top of each page is a mediation space where there are words or phrases. The reader could choose to meditate or contemplate on one or all of the words on a particular day. After the mediation there is usually a thought for the day. These thoughts can be used as guidelines, coaching or a space for inquiry. At the bottom of some pages are quotes from famous and the not so famous for you to consider. Readers may use this book any way they wish. Take what you like and allow yourself to receive the gift of sufficiency today.

4 Virtual Learning Sessions plus 6-month Racial Affinity Group Experience

For this learning path, you will participate in the 4 virtual learning sessions and be enrolled in one of three Racial Affinity Groups:

1) People who identify as People of Color (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Hispanic)

2) People who identify as Bi-Racial or Multi-Racial

3) People who identify as White

*More specific affinity groups may be formed upon the completion of course registration

We believe that it is important to do our own work with people with similar racial experiences to build capacity for cross-race dialogue that supports authentic relationships and deep belonging for everyone. We will ask you to self-select into the group that best aligns with your racial identity. We recognize that for some this is not a simple choice and we are available to have a conversation with you to support your selection.

Together we will:

Reflect personally and collectively on the impact of embodied trauma, separation, scarcity and disconnection.
Work in learning partners and/or small groups for the sake of holding each other accountable and deepening our learning through multiple disciplines.
Engage in embodied practices for unwinding from the impact of racism in order to build stamina, capacity, and resilience.

4 Virtual Learning Sessions Only

These four learning sessions will provide you with a new view and innovative framing of the problem as we see it. Below is a brief description of what will take place in each session:

Learning Session 1: Why Context Matters
In session one, we look at our individualist narratives and the impact of not understanding the context in which we exist.
Learning Session 2: Unpacking Trauma
In session two, we discuss individual and collective trauma. We define trauma and look together about our current systems of inequality and how they evoke trauma-like responses in so many of us.
Learning Session 3: Global Anti-Black Racism: A History Lesson
In session three, we get a history lesson like none other: we explore the global slave trade as the foundation for our current economic model.
Learning Session 4: Understanding Power
In our last session, we examine power; power structures, our relationships with personal power; the importance of learning a healthy relationship with power when so many of us have had power abuse in our lives.
