Each workshop will be focused on the themes of connection,conflict and coordination. In our time together will explore why connection, conflict and coordination are vital in our organizing work, how white supremacy culture disrupts our ability to connect, enter into conflict and have impactful coordination, and how we will practice new skills and ways of being for the sake of building beloved powerful community that can dismantle these systems of oppression and cultivate collection liberation!

Why practice connection, conflict & coordination? We hold that we have a lot of practice embodying white supremacy culture. So we ask the question: what else can we be practicing? These three themes: connection, conflict and coordination will support skill building for white-bodied people to practice more of the antidotes to white supremacy culture in order to unlearn a culture of dominance. These practices will build awareness of how the “shape of whiteness” shows up in us, and invite more choice to move away from that shape and embody something different.

✋What do we mean by embodied? We hold that our lived experience and histories live in our bodies and shape our words, actions, beliefs and how we are relationally across similarity and difference. We are shaped by the world around us. This practice space supports white people to consciously see and feel the ways white supremacy culture has shaped us and purposefully practice something different. Embodied practice brings our bodies, words and actions into more alignment with our values and commitments to ending racism. We practice to build more trustworthy, authentic and accountable relationships and accomplice-ship with people of color.
