Women and Whiteness
Facilitated by Mary Ann Gallo and Mary Stancavage
A Monthly Group – Next Meeting January 13
5:00 – 6:15pm PT via Zoom
A group for those who identify as women and White to explore how racial conditioning has impacted us and those around us.
We’re moving into the fall and winter with an intention to examine our whiteness. We will see how we have been shaped by societal and economic systems that are in place and which have formed our views and experience of race. We will work towards freeing ourselves from these ideas and for the collective liberation of all beings.
Over the next few months we will look at the following topics, and offer readings and videos you can look at in advance of our session.
- Oct 28: The invention of race and how it’s written into our constitution. For this session, please check out the following video: Birth of a White Nation, and article: Fellow White People, Let’s Unpack This
- Nov 25: The continuation of this idea with further colonization, land theft, Jim Crow, redlining, etc. Watch the short video of Haunani-Kay Trask
- Jan 13: Our own history and relationship to race. Who are we?
- Feb 10: The way forward – seeds planted and jumping off points. Spiritual practice as a support for compassionate action.
This group is drop in with no reservation required. No prior experience is necessary. Bring your willingness and an open heart.
