Musing Outloud: A Multigen Podcast for Change

From Pandemic to Protests: Reflections on Race in a COVID-19 Era: Part 6


Listen Later

For the final episode of this season, we touch on racial healing at both the collective and personal level. We speak to the importance and power of collective acknowledgement of racial trauma as an essential first step in the process of healing. We offer examples of structural expressions that speak to such acknowledgments. We talk about our own personal journeys around racial healing, specifically lifting up racial healing circles, re-evaluation counseling and somatic practices as examples of our key tools. We share tips for facilitators on how to proactively engage with clients on racial dynamics in organizations and groups. We conclude with the following invitation for our listeners: In what practices have you engaged (or would like to explore) around racial healing?
