About The Course

You get to create a world that works for everyone. What is yours to do is guided by your thoughts, ideas, and intentions. Healing as an aspiration, awareness, and practice offers us the tools to: return to our wholeness, shield us as we attend to thriving, and respond to what activates separation.

Healing is the work of coming home to yourselves again and again. Because oppression is persistent, healing must be persistent and on-going. Doing equity works requires continuous healing from the effects of the many faces of oppression that emerge from a foundation of white delusion, racial capitalism, settler colonialism, and cis-hetero patriarchy. You must interrupt and disrupt these pillars of oppression in order to tap into your resiliency, access your agency, and express the fullness of your humanity. It is from this place that we live into the values of justice and liberation and root ourselves to the interconnectedness and collective humanity which pave the path we will travel home.

We believe that healing must be prioritized as we work collaboratively towards transformation and liberation; it cannot wait until our systems are redesigned. Attending to your individual healing is essential and allows us to then lean into and reconnect to our collective healing. In this course, we draw from the wisdom of Queer, Black and Indigenous ancestral healers to explore how to center and integrate processes for ongoing individual, interpersonal and collective healing when working, collaborating, and designing for equity.

You will be invited to:

  • Explore why healing is necessary and what it can look like at the individual, interpersonal and collective level

  • Flow through states of awareness - acknowledgement - acceptance - agency

  • Experience and contribute to a healing space that centers resilience, inherent wholeness, ancestral wisdom, and collective care

  • Build connections across multiple healing frameworks and modalities to support collective and individual healing

 
 
FAQs

  • We are excited to offer Center for Equity Leadership Virtual Workshops. Our workshops are 3-hour interactive sessions where participants will engage with a single focused topic, connect with other equity leaders around the world, and gain new tools to add to their equity practice. Workshops are bite-sized nuggets of knowledge, frameworks and tools that are delivered in a highly engaging way.

    This workshop will be delivered in a live, 3-hour interactive learning session conducted online in Zoom. Attend the live session with facilitators and fellow participants and gain new knowledge and skills to bring back to your own context. Participants receive electronic versions of all resources and tools.

    We are intensely focused on humanizing our virtual spaces. We focus on interactivity and connection (these workshops are not webinars), frequent screen and body breaks, and attending to learning, practice, and healing in community with people around the world.

  • Healing should be part of all of our work. As such, this workshop is for anyone and everyone!

  • We provide an advance draft of our slide deck 24 hours before the session and enable live transcription and closed caption during the live Zoom session. Our sessions are recorded (absent any technical difficulties) and can be accessed for up to 30 days after the course concludes.

  • Because our trainings include attention to building a learning community and interaction with other folks in small groups, we encourage full participation for the duration of the training. However, we understand that our homes and workspaces are commingling in this time. We hope participants can fully engage during sessions, but support participants to attend to their own unique needs.

“In today’s America, we tend to think of healing as something binary: either we’re broken or we’re healed from that brokenness. But that’s not how healing operates, and it’s almost never how human growth works. More often, healing and growth take place on a continuum, with innumerable points between utter brokenness and total health.”
