White Bodied Caucus
Workshop Description
The White Bodied Caucus (WBC) is a weekly to bi-weekly gathering for White bodied individuals who wish to invest in transforming and healing the injustices of racial inequality - in the world, our society, our communities and within ourselves - as a path to healing the Earth. The Racial & Social Justice Initiative’s (RSJI) ‘Building a Relational Culture’ model will act as our compass, guiding us through 12 Manifestations of Relational Culture and of White Supremacy Culture. This framework will be paired with experiential somatic processes, as we acknowledge we cannot heal through a lens of shame. This is a peer centered space where we all are learning together in order to create healing change within our internal and external worlds.
