Reclaiming our Birthright: An Embodied Gathering for Black Men (PART 2) August 1, 2020 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
EventBrite Link
In this session, we will share our embodied experience as Black men and the ways we have come to understand our experience in this society. About this EventOur birthright is wholeness and health. Let’s reclaim it. Description of Part 2 In this second session, from the foundation and container we created in session 1, we will then focus on application: the detailed application of how this works. What does this look like in our lives? Things are going to show up and seem unnerving; we will place the philosophy into this context and explore the application together. We will also put your experiences into this context , so session two will offer more space for participants to engage with Resmaa and Ken directly. It will also be a time to laugh, enjoy, joke, cry, talk, rib, and connect as brothers. Note: You must have attended part one to be able to attend part 2. Cost: We are currently fundraising for this event to hopefully be able to cover most of the costs of facilitation and production. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. Our intention is to make this accessible to any and all black men who want to join us. Each part must be registered for separately -- Sliding scale registration fee for each is $50- $100. If you have financial barriers and cannot purchase a ticket, please email educationforracialequity@gmail.com for scholarship opportunities. See more details
