A Preview of Lane's Teaching Style
Lane on How Our Symptoms Lead to Wholeness
Discussion
What supports well-meaning, open hearted white people like me to live according to our values and be constructive partners in racial dialogue? There are many answers, including clear understanding of the privileges of whiteness and the racial socialization that affects the way we think, feel, and interact.
Even when our thinking minds are on board with all this, though, we white people often get defensive in tough racial conversations (or even normal conversations with People of Color). This experiential workshop is a chance to notice our visceral and emotional defensiveness and to learn & practice simple yet powerful practices that can help us move toward racial resilience. This can help us stay grounded and present so we can hold the experience and the full expression of People of Color, so we can live our values and help create a more just and equitable world.
This introductory workshop will be a combination of theory and practice, inner work and demonstrations. It’s geared toward white people, though anyone can attend.
