Engage with Equity:

Participate in an essential exploration of the differences between equity and equality, how that knowledge changes our perspective, and how we show up in the world differently after embracing it.

• Learn how the language we use can make or break our connections with others, and utilize this information to build deeper relationships based on equity and trust.

• Explore how the language and application of Conscious Discipline may look in different cultures and through different lenses while still maintaining fidelity in spirit, philosophy and practice.

• Identify your own internal bias and uncover specific practices that empower you to respond in ways that deescalate and heal rather than escalating and deepening the hurt.

• Reflect on your own individual experiences with equity and explore how these experiences have shaped how you show up in the world and your interactions with others.

• Apply specific Conscious Discipline practices and skills to engage in ways that feel authentic and genuine to you.
