From Auto-pilot to Awareness--Tools for Tracking & Unlearning Racism

What if the conditioning you've been carrying isn't who you are?

In this workshop, we explore one of the most liberating insights from racial justice work: racism operates at the social level, not just the individual level. This means the patterns we've inherited—the automatic responses, the unconscious assumptions—aren't personal failures. They're learned. And what's learned can be unlearned.

Join us for an intimate, hands-on workshop series designed specifically for white people committed to doing justice work from the inside out. Whether you're an activist, educator, therapist, artist, nonprofit worker, or simply someone who wants to show up with more presence in the world, this series offers practical tools for examining your conditioning as a white person in a supportive and caring space.

This is an in-person gathering for our San Francisco Bay Area community. You will receive details about location and what to bring by automatic email when you register. The series will be led by Mari Amend and Janet Carter.
