Join this small group session on learning to both recognize and interrupt racial microaggressions*.
During this workshop we actively practice interrupting microaggressions…so this isn’t an intellectual conversation…and we will all be learning together. All skill levels welcome.
There is no fee but space is limited. Pre-registration is required.
Date: Saturday, February 8, 2020
Time: 2pm – 5:30pm
Location: First Unitarian Church of Honolulu – Room 2 (Upstairs)
Contact Carla Allison to register: cbm@hawaii.rr.com or 396-1488.
* “Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.” ~ Derald Wing Sue Ph.D. “Microaggression: More Than Just Race”
Hello – I am from the Unitarian Congregation of Guelph (not far from Toronto, Ontario) and this workshop fits perfectly with directions we are aiming to create change in our own congregation. If this distance was not so great, we would send a delegation along, but given that is more than a little beyond our budget, could we talk with one of your facilitators with a view to getting support to put on a similar workshop here? I realize this would be long-distance outreach for you, but any pointers, resource recommendations, session outlines and pearls of wisdom would be welcome. Thanks so much – Martha Savage
I don’t have an answer for you from the Congregation, but, on a personal level, can I recommend Dr. Kathy Obear at the Center for Transformation & Change. She is based in Denver, and I have been to a couple of her wonderful sessions.
