Beyond Diversity 101

An on-campus intensive with Niyonu Spann and Lisa Graustein.

Beyond Diversity 101 intends healing transformation. We provide frameworks, offer practices, and hold a space for growing skills to de-structure systems of oppression and raise up liberation. Participants are offered pathways to move beyond the guilt-blame cycle toward radical truth-telling, co-responsibility, and activating joy & justice!

Participants will:

• Recognize and remove blocks that hold you back as a facilitator, artist, leader, healer, teacher, or organizer;
• Articulate and break patterns of domination/power-over/oppression;
• Practice being a courageous and heart-centered transformer;
• Work within a community of learners and justice workers with the potential for ongoing support;
• Increase the ability to discern, speak, and activate a vision of liberation;
• Recognize how our spiritual lives relate to our social justice work;
• Develop applications for continuing work at home
