Tuition: $10 before Sept. 10, $15 after (scholarships available)

When people bring up issues of race, culture, and identity, these conversations quickly become deeply personal and oftentimes emotional. How do we engage with others about these issues, especially when it comes to race and ethnicity?  In this workshop, we will learn to frame conversations that create a safe, brave, and affirming space for all.  We will learn that it is okay to challenge ourselves, to get out of our comfort zone, to make mistakes, to be vulnerable, and to learn new things. Come learn how to not only create a brave space but to use this space to have brave conversations.

She is a proponent of transformative learning education opportunities and is a strong believer in building bridges, not walls when it comes to racial, cultural, and interfaith understanding.
