Description:
What does it mean to attend to our suffering in body, heart, and mind when racism has caused such intense hurt and pain both individually and collectively? Join us on the path of restoration from the impacts of racism. We’ll engage in practices from Rev. Liên’s book Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path to learn new skills and behaviors, building confidence in the knowledge that we are able to heal from the hurts and harms of racism as we practice co-creating liberation for all. This workshop is for anyone seeking restoration and healing from the deep impacts of racism.
