A Circle on Reclaiming Our Names as a Form of Liberation

No. Decolonized Discernment Circles begin with a story told by the facilitator, followed by deep, reflective questions. No teaching, fixing, or advice, just truth-telling. We suspend control and dominance to make space for honest self-inquiry and collective witnessing.

No. This is not a form of therapy or clinical support. It is a space for collective reflection and mutual care.

Yes, but it's up to you how much you share and what you choose to speak on. Everyone will have a turn in the circle. You can always pass if you're not ready to speak during your turn, but everyone is invited to offer something aloud by the closing round. Using the chat is not an option.

Depends. Some people keep their camera on because it helps them distinguish voices, read lips, or feel more connected via body language. Others prefer it off. That said, if someone names a specific access need (e.g., reading lips), I may ask you to turn your camera on when it's your turn to speak.

Yes, please attend the full 2 hours to honor the shared space. If you need to step away briefly, that’s okay.

No. Circles are not recorded.

These circles are open to anyone interested in reflecting on internalized oppression through a decolonized lens. You do not need to be a professional or a provider.
