Beyond Diversity 101™ Upcoming Workshops
BD101 RACE- Dispelling the Myths of White Superiority and the Inferiority of Black & Brown People
October 22-26, 2019 | PENDLE HILL RETREAT & CONFERENCE CENTER- Wallingford, PA
This BD101 workshop offers a space for people to name and transform internalized, interpersonal, and structural patterns of white supremacy, racism, and colonialism. We will work as a whole group as well as in racial identity *Affinity for Healing Groups to:
-
Identify and understand patterns of racism, white supremacy, and colonization within ourselves and throughout society;
-
Begin to replace these internalized patterns with ones of justice and liberation;
-
Build skills in accessing inner guidance and reconnecting to ancestral wisdom for living into wholeness; and
-
Develop skill in speaking from YOUR knowingness; speaking truth out loud.
*As we continue to grow BD101RACE, we will be adding more Affinity for Healing Groups to include more People of Color.
This program requires an application. Once your application has been approved, you will be given instructions on how to register for the program and seek financial assistance if you require it.

Beyond Diversity 101: Remember, Resist, Renew
November 21-24 | Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health | Stockbridge, MA
Rest and replenish in a community committed to rigorous truth-telling and fierce loving. Designed for social justice practitioners, healers, teachers, community activists, and transformational artists, this highly interactive program invites you to relax and reflect in warm silence, uncover and express your deepest knowing, claim the personal healing that strengthens your community activism, and ignite the fire-dance that burns away the lies of separation.
These times require dipping into the well of inner knowing so that you can continue the work of actualizing wholeness and justice for all. This weekend includes movement, small-group work, lectures, music, and dancing. These four talented presenters offer tools and connections to sustain and empower you in making the changes our world so desperately needs right now.
Come be inspired to remember who you are. Join arms in uncompromising heart-work, leaving with renewed energy to abolish systems of oppression and open pathways to the fullest expression of interconnection for the well-being of all.
We keep the BD101 community in mind as we design the CEIO Deeper Change Forums. Because so many members of CEIO partners and other of Greater New Haven communities have attended the various BD101 Programs, we see a great tie between these intentional communities of learning. Though primarily intended for CT folks we love to see a few out of state BD101 transformers as well. Here is the link to upcoming Forums and a bit about past events as well!
