Beyond Separation uses an innovative approach and interactive learning modalities to expand white-identified participants’ capacities. This approach includes:
-
Keeping the focus on race through an intersectional lens
-
Studying and discussing the history of racism in the U.S
-
Practicing courageous and challenging conversations with new tools
-
Embracing kinesthetic activities. Because implicit biases live in our bodies, we must engage the whole person in our work
-
Trusting in our inherent impulses toward healing and wholeness
-
Giving ourselves permission to feel, express, and track emotional reactions
-
Practicing together- sitting with discomfort, making mistakes, and accepting obstacles as an intrinsic part of healing and creating racial justice
-
Cultivating a mindfulness practice to support our process of waking up
