LEARNING CIRCLES are small discussion cohorts based on a book or podcast that provide:

• Important learning about white supremacy, racism, and our national history
• The opportunity to build trust and go deep in small group discussions over time
• A safe place to have difficult discussions and deal with discomfort
• An opportunity to create and strengthen relationships with others
• Connection, focus and purpose in a virtual setting

 LEARNING CIRCLES Work this way:

• Each cohort (typically 4-12) gathers for a series (from 6-12 sessions) of facilitated Zoom discussions.
• Register for specific Learning Circle(s).  Meeting dates & times vary.
• Everyone is given the opportunity to share reactions, then discuss as a group
• We ask that you plan to attend all sessions so we can build bonds of trust and insight
