White Antiracist Spirituality: Grounding Ourselves in the Historical Legacy

Looking to deepen your White antiracist practice? Start your new year off with a month of inspiration and grounding, by exploring powerful examples of White antiracist spirituality in U.S. history.

During the month of January, we’ll meet each week to explore deeply embodied, lived examples of White antiracist spirituality and philosophy.

• In week 1, we’ll learn from the Quaker abolitionist tradition.

• In week 2, from the philosophically rich Jewish antiracist tradition.

• In week 3, from martyrs of Unitarian Universalism.

• And in week 4, from interracial Christian communes in the Deep South, and radical Christianity in the urban North during the civil rights and Black Power eras.

You don’t need to be a religious person to learn from and be inspired by these histories. This is for anyone seeking to embody a deeper, richer level of antiracist practice that will sustain your spirit and provide guidance for the long haul.

Everyone who signs up here on Eventbrite will be emailed Zoom links and readings for each session. The readings will be super accessible… less than 10 pages per class. The Zoom call will open 30 minutes before each session for participants who would like to read together just before the session begins.

Dates:

In order to be accessible to everyone from coast to coast, there will be two different sessions. Please come to whichever time works best for you!

• An earlier session that meets on Tuesdays at 3PM Pacific/6PM Eastern. (We’ll have 1 Wednesday session on the 18th, due to a scheduling conflict.) The dates for those are January 3, 10, 18, and 24.

• A later session that meets on Thursdays at 6PM Pacific/9PM Eastern. The dates for those are January 5, 12, 19, and 26.
