Details

   This course is for white-identifying antiracists*. Nonviolent Communication provides a set of skills and a practice that teaches us how to act and live in full alignment with our core values. It does this by giving us the tools to increase our self-awareness, work constructively with difficult emotions and find a way to care for ourselves and others even in times of conflict. Ultimately, we create more compassion, understanding, and authenticity in our lives and the lives of those around us; as we increase our capacity to attend to impact, while holding everyone’s humanity and needs.

Facilitators: Pam Orbach & Catherine Strickland

* This course is running in collaboration with POC4NVC Nonviolent Communication for Black, Indigenous, People of Colour Spring 2022.

OUTCOMES:
- Expand your frame of reference so that you can hold in your awareness how others might experience what is happening in ways that are not obvious to you.
- Uncover your unconscious racial bias so you can respond to racially charged events with integrity and care
- Care for yourself and still show up for BIPOC, LGBTQ and other's with marginalized identities, when harm happens
- Be accountable for harm in ways that build trust and prioritize connection.

Who is it for?

  This course is for white-identifying antiracists, especially people who are wanting to grow in awareness of what is needed to truly invite all voices — maybe you are wanting to work on both Nonviolent Communication and anti racism; wanting to embrace "power with" in your community; leaders in the work place... This is our work if we want to live in a world where  attention to needs takes structural and systemic power differences, informal or social power, into account to inform our actions and choices so that all needs are addressed with equity.

We are committed to removing barriers to joining this learning and community building opportunity. Please contact us directly if there are any obstacles (including financial) that would prevent you attending. We do need sustainability, and at the same time, It brings us joy to make this possible for everyone.
