This one is personal. Having done some workshops to promote the Disrupting Our Practice: Understanding Whiteness program, and getting ready for the program itself, we’ve had some insights.

Insights that hit home rather close. So close, that Greg gets to sit with a giant knot in his stomach in the middle of the episode. Today we’re exploring those insights, talking about the ways that we still – after all of this work, after becoming facilitators of this work – center the comfort of white-bodied folks. We talk about the kinds of discomfort we (white-bodied folks) all need to step into.

And we talk about how to get support in it.

Please let us know how it lands.

And join us in our fall program - starting September 11th.
