UWSA November Unlearning Circle

Please join us on zoom November 12th from 10am-12:00 for our Unlearning Circle Building Skills to Talk about Race.

The Unlearning Circles for October through December will help us build our skills to engage in difficult conversations about race. Engaging in conversations about race can activate our fears around perfectionism and fear of conflict.

We might believe that somehow we should know how to have these difficult conversations. Without practice and reflection on the situation with others, however, our conversations may fall short of our expectations. Fearing we might mess up, not be perfect, we may entirely avoid these conversations.

Liberated Structures Troika consulting process is one way to prepare, in community, to have these difficult conversations about race. A Troika is a process we can invite others into at any time to support us in thinking through situations we are in and suggesting possible approaches we struggle to see on our own. It is a tool we can use to support ourselves and others to build vital relationships with each other and meet the challenges of anti-racist work.

James Baldwin said, Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. Join us on November 12th with the gathered UWSA community to face the challenge of building the muscle to have difficult conversations about race.
