Gatherings are on Indefinite Pause
No Upcoming Events
We write to say it is time to put our efforts to rest for a while. With dwindling attendance, and over full schedules for many on our team, we need to see what might emerge if we leave ourselves open with more space and time. It is good work this untangling our whiteness, where it came from, what it does to us individually and culturally.
Keep it up.
We invite you to continue on your own, reading, attending events, workshops and trainings, AND especially, listening, with an open mind and heart, to those who are not white, that you encounter in your spheres.
