Resiliency-building & Spiritual Practices: For Those Working to Dismantle Systemic Racism.
On Saturday, Nov 20th, we gathered with Rev. Ruth T. West, who shared various practices and deeper knowledge around the spiritual work required of Dismantling Systemic Racism; access to build our own Resiliency-Building toolkit. Thank you for signing up! In case you missed the day, the recording is now available.
The workshop will help identify the ways doing anti-racism work can impact our whole selves and our understanding of complicity, shame/guilt and belovedness. We will explore and be curious together about our continuous need for self-awareness and spiritual renewal in order to build resilience.
