Topics per week: Mindfulness: What are the tools from our practice  that we can bring to this work together? Definition and History: When did you realize you were a race? What were you taught in schools about the history of slavery\, race? Culture Conditioning: What images do you remember in shows or movies from childhood depicting race? Beliefs:What are some beliefs that you maintain regarding the races? Institutions How are Racial Disparities maintained?Gender: “Gender is surely the modality through which race is lived.” Does that sound true? Getting proximate: how can we more actively engage with this inquiry\, to go deeper\, to build close connections\, to take action?  Generosity for the Facilitators and EkojiThe facilitators are not compensated and rely on generosity. There are two ways to practice generosity for this course: Generosity for the facilitators\, suggested donation: $8 –$30 per session (sliding scale).Generosity for Ekoji\, suggested donation: $8 – $30 per session (sliding scale).Your donation to the facilitators provides support to allow them to continue offering teachings\, and your donation to Ekoji allows for all the groups to continue holding events at Ekoji.
