Releasing Defense, Opening to Change


As communities and organizations develop anti-oppressive practices, we humble humans often need support observing our resistance, releasing our attachment and habits, and opening ourselves up to being called into loving practice and impact. This 5-session workshop series is designed for people with white privilege to practice receiving feedback non-defensively. Check out the details below, and let’s go!

What are we up to together?

Five (5) 2-hour sessions held on Thursdays from 11:00am – 1:00pm EST

  • February dates: 10th, 17th, 24th

  • March dates: 3rd, 10th

Why should you consider receiving support around releasing defense?

So that we can more wholeheartedly and effectively contribute to efforts toward racial equity in our organizations and our movements!

How will we meet?

We’ll meet virtually, via Zoom (link to be shared after registration)

Who is invited to attend?

People who identify as white and/or hold white privilege...who have participated in the ROR workshop or another similar workshop; who want to explore an embodied role of whiteness in our lives; who believe in racial justice; who are actively engaged in efforts toward racial justice (even in small ways); who work within orgs that are working toward justice and equity, so that you can be a more helpful partner in that work
