Embodied Social Justice Work
Embracing a critical analysis of systems of oppression to
cultivate personal, interpersonal, and systemic transformation.
Embodied social justice work is about dismantling racism, internally and systemically.

Resilience & connection
Creating non-shaming spaces for white folks to look openly at our internalized racism.
White supremacy is a system you internalized. You didn’t create it. You didn’t ask for it. You’re not bad.
And yet, it’s your responsibility.
It is not enough to be “a conscious white person.”
Structural and systemic racism are much bigger than any one of us, but they are echoed in each of us.
Only when we learn to recognize the interlocking facets of systemic racism and oppression can we start to influence change on a structural level — where the most important shifts must happen.
To create genuine transformation, we need to be embodied and relationally connected. We need to be grounded and present. We need to develop personal resilience so that we can digest and genuinely metabolize the pain, trauma, and horrors of racism as we look openly at how we have internalized it.
Embodied social justice work for white-identifying folks is about learning the tools necessary to take personal responsibility without making ourselves wrong, punishing ourselves, or falling into other traps that frequently accompanying antiracism work.
This is the first and necessary step to finding a different path forward — a path of personal and collective liberation that is joyful, creative, satisfying, and alive.

UNPACKING WHITENESS
What is whiteness? What is white privilege/white supremacy? How can folks who identify as white see and dismantle our racism?
This 6-week series is a space for people who identify as white to learn, digest, and inquire. It is dedicated to the important work of waking up to racism in ourselves and in the world in order to create an antiracist culture of connectedness and solidarity rather than judgement and shame.
This supportive-but-challenging environment combines learning and practices to digest the material and allow ourselves to be truly transformed by it.
