Two Saturdays, October 14th and 21st. Two sessions, 3 hours each 9 AM - 12 PM, PST

We invite you to an opportunity to be in connection with others and be transparent with yourself. We are creating more internal space for deeper learning. It is a given that all human interaction has a racial component. We all have had moments when we’ve made a mistake or felt misunderstood in a racialized context; let’s explore how to navigate what we can glean about ourselves and create the conditions of bravery to step in again and again in order to create the world we want. Using somatic tools and art we will do the inner work needed to build capacity for this outer change. We want to live in a world where we can all interact from our humanity. Join us to go deep for two-weekend sessions. Who is welcome: all folks who identify as white (aka white-bodied). Come with an open heart and a willingness to be connected. Apply below.

Bridget Bertrand

I hold a graduate degree in counseling psychology, an undergraduate degree in theatre, and a minor in education. Completing one hundred and fifty hours of coursework centered around social justice at The Embody Lab and more profound mindfulness training with the folks at MNDFL offers a well of somatic experiencing. I had to step up and out of the hetero-patriarchal “foundation” of my education to feel confident enough to offer this workshop exploring our conditioning. I am committed to creating mutual aid relationships with Global Majority (Bodies of Culture) members of my community, and I explore my proximity to privilege daily.
