    “Loving yourself is a political act. We are taught not to love ourselves and from that place we are easily manipulated… Love yourself so much that this love changes the world.”  -Rita Shimmin, UNtraining co-founder

    Our three-phase UNtraining White Liberal Racism program is a process of exploring our white conditioning in a space that is highly supportive and challenging, and appropriate for all levels of experience. We invite white people to investigate how growing up in a white-dominated society has shaped our relationships and perceptions of ourselves and others. Uncovering and overcoming this white training is crucial to effectively challenging racism. Phase 1 offers foundational tools and practices to foster lasting change. It's about embracing your role in the conversation and disrupting racism from within.

    Join us if you’re ready to:

    • Gain awareness of how your background shapes your worldview and interactions
    • Speak openly about racism in your life
    • Move beyond simplistic labels and embrace the complexities of social conditioning
    • Understand how personal narratives can hinder progress
    • Empower yourself to make a difference

    The UNtraining invites you to take part in a transformative experience, where awareness leads to action—and change begins with you.

    This group is available to people who have completed Phase 1 and been invited to participate in Phase 2.  In the UNtraining Phase 2, we’re working on deeper social conditioning, the emotional parts that are more embodied and defended.  We build on Phase 1 tools and practices and introduce new ones to engage with this deeper level of our white training. This enables us to be more present, aware and effective as we meet the challenges of an ever diverse and polarized world.

    EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!
