How Racism Hurts People of Color….And Everyone

Carlie Tartakov and Paki Wieland have been learning from Indigenous Peoples to look deeply at the concept of “reconciliation,” and the suggestion that we need “conciliation,” since the question arises of whether we were ever in concert, in connection. In this workshop, we will examine the messages we have all learned about “differences” in the dominant culture of hierarchy and duality. Together we will explore the shift to understanding white advantage, and we will discuss alternatives we can envision and co-create. Come with an open mind and heart. Join us.
