JUNE & September 2024
9am – 1pm PDT / 11am – 3pm CDT / 12pm – 4pm EDT each day
Understanding whiteness as a mentality and a way of being…
Through these four days we will come to experience the way whiteness moves through us energetically, relationally, and communally – And the impact these patterns can have on bodies of culture / BIPOC.
Have you ever wondered why it was difficult to create deep meaningful relationships cross-culturally? Do you notice relational challenges and dynamics in cross-cultural relationships that are not there in your relationships with white people? Have you ever wondered how you might be unknowingly and unintentionally perpetrating whiteness and white supremacist cultural standards into mixed spaces at work, school or other places or in your community?
The somatics of Whiteness are incredibly powerful and yet often hard to address. They inform dominant standards, dominant norms and dominant culture and if we remain ignorant to them we continue to be complicit with inherited white supremacist culture. A community born from White Body Supremacy results in a culture of separation, individualism, brutality, domination, disconnection, extraction, saviorism, apathy and dehumanization of non-white bodies.
As white bodies practicing somatically, we come together to work with the patterns and embodied lineages of harm we have inherited from white supremacist culture. We do this intentionally, personally, collectively and communally.
In our time together we will create space to work with each other through honest dialogue, reflections and somatic sensing. By developing our ability to sense white body supremacy in our own bodies and in the bodies around us, we will begin to identify and name it collectively from a place of dignity, connection and fierce, loving accountability. Together we will begin to discover more embodied ways of being in the world and we will experience the power of engaging in this work communally.
There will be a combination of lecture, group process, somatic practices, guest speakers, one-on-one exercises, and small group work.
