An embodied awareness community
For some, a small group environment is not supportive. Personal Racialization Conversations are one-one-one, personalized, guided experiences designed for white-caucasus members.
Personal Racialization Conversations
It is easy to think that the problem of racial oppression in this country is just too big. How on earth can we be expected to dismantle a complex system that has been functioning for over 400 years? My answer is” piece by piece. ~ Ijeouma Oluo
America, of all the Western nations, has been best placed to prove the uselessness and obsolescence of the concept of color. ~ James Baldwin
Starting to realize that even anti-black racism harms not only black people, but harms you, it makes you immune to [racist] theories. ~ Ibram X. Kendi
White people in this country will have quite enough to do in learning how to accept and love themselves and each other, and when they have achieved this…the Negro problem will no longer exist, for it will no longer be needed. ~ James, Baldwin
Personal Racialization Conversations are an invitation to explore how racialization has occurred in all people who identify as white generally and in you as a unique individual, Each Conversation holds the belief that greater awareness and self-understanding expands compassion, imagination, and energy for the type of positive action that unites rather than divides.
These are not political conversations. Using a gentle, body-based questioning technique, I engage with Racialized as White (RAW) people from anywhere in the US, inviting memories, thoughts, feelings, and new questions to arise, the kinds of awarenesses that can release the stuck and uncomfortable places inside around race.
A complete investigation involves practice with 26 questions. Because you are in charge of the investigation, not all questions need be addressed and the complete investigation can take place over as many Conversations as desired.
This investigation can be lengthy. Each Conversation is 60 minutes in length and involves multiple kinds of awareness as agreed between you and I, potentially including:
1. grounding and guided meditation,
2. an historical artifact relating to whiteness,
3. the practice of setting out,
4. self-appreciation practice and dedication of merit.
Conversations can be recorded for participant use to reinforce completeness and accuracy. The results of these conversations are always confidential. No content from your Conversations will ever be shared without your permission.
Because Personal Racilization Conversations are a personalized one-on-one service, as small dana is charged. To schedule a Personal Racialization Conversation , or to learn more, visit the Contact Page.
