Grounding in Racial Resilience: Building a Solid Anti-Racist Foundation

Race affects nearly every aspect of our daily lives, with systemic racism giving rise to economic and social inequalities, political marginalization, and normalized discrimination along racial lines.

In order to confront and dismantle the racism built into the structures of our society, we must go beyond just avoiding racial bias or expressing our righteous anger about racist thinking, actions, and systems.

To move forward in healthy and healing ways, we must become actively anti-racist.

And we need a strong foundation that can motivate us and sustain us for the long journey of reconciliation, connection, and justice ahead. We believe compassion is the key!

In Grounding in Racial Resilience, a 3-session interactive virtual seminar presented by BELOVED Compassion Network and BELOVED Way, we will engage in facilitated conversations, experiential exercises, and contemplative practices to cultivate compassion to fuel and shape our efforts to be actively anti-racist.

Led by highly-sought after anti-racism experts Dr. Seth Schoen and Rev. Dr. Christopher Carter, Grounding in Racial Resilience will equip you to:

• better understand racism, racialization, white privilege, compassion, and our interior movements (our emotions, thoughts, and internal reactions),
• cultivate grounded awareness of the world around you and within you, and how race plays a role,
• and cultivate the compassion needed for sustainable anti-racist efforts.

Join us for these crucial conversations and let compassion lead the way to an anti-racist future!
