Racial Healing Handbook Discussion Group for
White-Identified Bodies/ Minds
Is one of your resolutions in the New Year to examine whiteness and the ways racism is internalized and upheld? Do you want to gain a deeper understanding of systemic racism, your part in it, and what you can do to affect change? Are you feeling called to help build an intentional community focused on racial healing – for ourselves, our communities and our planet?
Join me for a weekly deep dive into the powerful first two chapters of The Racial Healing Handbook by Annelise A. Singh. We will explore our own racial identities and internalized racism using the exercises in this book as our jumping off point. Each meeting will include embodied guided meditation, inquiry questions to allow us to discover what is running on a deep level, sharing discoveries, and receiving support.
We will meet on six Saturday afternoons from from 4pm-5:30 Mountain time via zoom on the following dates:
January 16, 23, 30
February 6, 13, 20
The group will be limited to 7 participants.
Cost for the six week session is $100 and scholarships are available.

Testimonial from previous group participant:
I have really enjoyed our meetings working through the Racial Healing Handbook together; the simple questions that take us all deeper and the surprise of what can arise. I have felt safe in the group and have appreciated everyone's willingness to be vulnerable which has created a lovely intimacy between us all. I particularly liked that Margot included herself in the exploration and was willing tell her own truth too.
At the end of these few sessions I am more deeply connected to my feelings around racism. I have come away with a deeper understanding of the systemic racism in this country and as part of that seeing aspects of my own racism and the benefits I receive as a a white person.
