The Whiteness Within

Challenging White Supremacy Culture. This online (Zoom) workshop will use story sharing, reflection and physical expression to give participants a chance to recognize and shift away from racism. *While white people are the target audience for this workshop, we welcome any Indigenous, Black, and People of Color (IBPOC) who might feel called to observe and/or share their valuable perspectives.

Power Moves

one-day workshop that assists in participants' unlearning some of the unhealthy societal norms around power that we’ve all internalized from the dominant cultures present in our communities. Using physical and theatrical games and demonstration, participants will recognize and explore various dimensions of the power-consolidating, power-asserting behaviors, whether we find ourselves using them on others, or experiencing their being used on us. Come play and learn with us!
