Book Circle Series: Exploring Equity, Inclusivity & Social Justice


Join us for three weekly gatherings, as we explore “Do Better: Spiritual Activism for Fighting and Healing from White Supremacy” by Rachel Ricketts as part of our BOOK CIRCLE SERIES: Exploring Equity, Inclusivity & Social Justice.

The intention of this series is to unearth the systems of oppression we’ve been rooted in, open our eyes to unconscious bias, shed that which does not serve us, and grow more completely, together. Join us and explore contemporary and pioneering readings on issues of social justice as we dig deeper, chapter by chapter and issue by issue - together - in the company of those who are engaged, accountable and also willing to have hard conversations that can awaken us, build trust and create positive change within the community and ourselves.


WHAT TO EXPECT

  1. This is a space for white affinity group to gather, unlearn and relearn.

  2. This is a safe and brave place for us to discuss topics related to diversity, equity, white supremacy, gender, inclusion & intersectionality.

  3. All levels welcome as it is the shared lived experiences and conversations that help as all grow.
